Rainfall and landslides last year in Indonesia killed 7% of world’s rarest great apes – study

Critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan population falls after extreme weather – fuelled by climate crisis – in North SumatraExtreme rainfall and landslides fuelled by the climate crisis killed 7% of the remaining population of the world’s rarest great ape, a study has found, prompting fears for the species’ survival. The research suggests 58 out of the remaining 800 critically endangered Tapanuli orangutans (Pongo tapanuliensis) were killed after more than 1,000mm (39in) of rain fell over...

A hierarchical Bayesian framework accommodates intraspecific and interspecific variation in multivariate traits

Phylogenetic comparative methods are a critical tool in biology, providing the framework to test evolutionary hypotheses of phenotypic diversification. Accommodating intraspecific variation in these analyses is critical for accurate evolutionary inference, but current multivariate methods either assume traits evolve independently or that all taxa share the same intraspecific covariance structure. Violations of these assumptions can produce biased estimates of evolutionary parameters.
