DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blab023
Abstract: Range fragmentation poses challenges for species persistence over time and can be caused by both historical and contemporary processes. We combined genomic data, phylogeographical model testing and palaeoclimatic niche modelling to infer the evolutionary history… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaa037
Abstract: Synopsis The adhesive toe pads of tree frogs have inspired the design of various so-called ‘smooth’ synthetic adhesives for wet environments. However, these adhesives do not reach the attachment performance of their biological models in… read more here.
