Changes in Vertical Stratification of Neotropical Nymphalid Butterflies at Forest Edges Are Not Directly Caused by Light and Temperature Conditions by Brian K. Oye, Ryan I. Hill

“…We found strong evidence of an edge effect in these butterflies and confirmed strong differences in light and temperature, showing that the edge understory differs little from forest canopy conditions. Of 41 species common to both forests and edges, 28 shifted to have a lower canopy probability at the edge, and our model detected a decrease in canopy probability of 0.165. …”

Knuckle-walking and behavioural flexibility in great apes by Emily LR Tarrega-Saunders, Charlotte King, Alice M Roberts, Susannah KS Thorpe

“…Kinematic differences in the knuckle-walking gaits of chimpanzees and gorillas have provided crucial evidence to support the theory that knuckle-walking evolved independently in the Pan and Gorilla lineages, rather than being inherited from their last common ancestor. This has been used to refute the idea that hominin bipedalism evolved from knuckle-walking. …”
