Our October is live today, with a very spooky cover fitting of the month. www.nature.com/nrbd/volumes... Our Editorial shares some thoughts in the lead-up to #COP17 next week, and discusses Comments that tie-in with the event.

Super happy to have published this excellent World View from @formorphology.bsky.social. Please go and give it a read, and let it guide your public outreach goals!

Hi! My World View in Nature Reviews Biodiversity was published today! Read about my three main aims when educating people about topics in natural history. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

If you want an up-to-date summary of whale and dolphin evolution, have a read of my new review paper in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com! I’ve tried to cover as much research as possible in this, so apologies if I’ve missed you! doi.org/10.1038/s443...

The evolution and diversification of Cetacea - Nature Reviews Biodiversity

Cetaceans are a highly diverse and enigmatic group of animals with a well-documented evolutionary history. This Review describes the macroevolutionary and palaeobiological history of Cetacea, from the...

I’m so sad to share that yesterday was my last day at Scientific American. It was an honor to work alongside my incredible colleagues and to speak with researchers across the sciences. If you’re looking to hire staff or freelance, please consider me and my other laid off coworkers (🧵)

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

Today is my last day at Scientific American, which has been sold to LabX media group. For three decades I've led the magazine's coverage of human origins, archaeology, paleontology, animal behavior, ecology, BIRDS. End of an era. Anyway this feels weird to say, but I'm now available for assignments!

There's a lot of work ahead. As Jane Lubchenco writes in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com, we must invest in science to ensure that steps to safeguard life on the high seas is grounded in a solid framework of objective information. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Our October Issue is out today: www.nature.com/nrbd/volumes... Content in this issue looks to the past (historical ecology and herbaria) and to related social science disciplines (anthropology and political ecology) to gain insights about biodiversity science and conservation. 🧪🌎

New online! The functional adaptations of mammalian brain structures through a behavioural ecology lens

The functional adaptations of mammalian brain structures through a behavioural ecology lens

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 15 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00095-0Palaeontologists and comparative neurobiologists share a common interest in the evolution of the mammalian brain, but often fail to realize the benefits of this shared interest. This Review draws these fields together, demonstrating the utility of a cross-disciplinary, synergistic approach.

📢We have been invited to write a comment article in @nature.com reviews biodiversity on the potential of digitisation as a research tool, especially in museum collections with a colonial past. Enjoy, and contact us if you have questions or comments! www.nature.com/articles/s44...

A paper in Nature presents a generative AI tool that could help video game designers to craft gameplay iteratively. The AI model, developed by researchers at Microsoft, generated robust 3D worlds that obeyed the mechanics of the video game they were designed for. https://go.nature.com/41mNgcG 🧪

World and Human Action Models towards gameplay ideation - Nature

A state-of-the-art generative artificial intelligence model of a video game is introduced to allow the support of human creative ideation, with the analysis of user study data highlighting three necessary capabilities, namely, consistency, diversity and persistency.
