The evolution of male weapons is associated with the type of breeding site in a clade of Neotropical frogs

The paper investigates the link between male weapon evolution and breeding site type in Neotropical frogs, finding a macroevolutionary correlation and dynamic patterns of weapon gain and loss.

Gestation length drives brain size and litter size variation in eutherian mammals

This study identifies gestation length as a key driver of brain size and litter size variation in eutherian mammals using phylogenetic path analysis.

A Unified Theory and Bayesian Framework for Phenological Inference from Biocollection Data: Resolving Paradoxes by Considering Phenophase Duration

This paper develops a Bayesian framework to infer phenological patterns from biocollection data, showing that phenophase duration often confounds phenological estimates.

Have coral snake mimics diversified more than non-mimics?

The paper tests if coral snake mimicry and contrasting color patterns affect diversification in Dipsadidae snakes, finding no detectable influence.
