Bayesian prediction of multivariate ecology from phenotypic data yields new insights into the diets of extant and extinct taxa

The paper predicts multivariate ecology from phenotypic data, showing Bayesian models accurately predict diet rankings in carnivorans and provide new insights into extinct species.

The roles of isolation and interspecific interaction in generating the functional diversity of an insular mammal radiation

The study examines how isolation and interspecific interactions shape functional diversity in Sulawesi's murine rodents by analyzing trait and phylogenetic diversity across communities.

Climate, crypsis and Gloger's rule in a large family of tropical passerine birds (Furnariidae)

This study examines the relationship between climate, habitat light environments, and plumage brightness in Furnariidae birds, finding that cooler climates and darker habitats are associated with darker plumage.
