To do so, we study the magnetization, magnon excitations and lattice dynamics as a function of temperature in NdFeO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>, TbFeO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>, EuFeO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> and GdFeO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>. The magnetization shows distinct temperature anomalous behavior for all investigated rare-earth orthoferrites, even in the compounds with no phase transitions occurring at those temperatures. Through spin\u2013phonon coupling, these magnetic changes are mirrored by the FeO<jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub> rotation mode for all the studied <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>FeO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>, revealing a common magnetostructural effect associated with the octahedra rotations.
