Intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance along elevational gradients: the case of a widespread diving beetle (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
• We explored intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance among populations of a widespread diving beetle across an elevational gradient.• We found no evidence of local adaption of thermal tolerance along the elevational gradient and limited plasticity of thermal limits.• Our results suggest thermal niche conservatism as a result of gene flow or ...

Multi‐omics reveal the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaption of small wild ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park, China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This research reveals the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaptation of wild small ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park. Unlike Tibetan sheep (TS), blue sheep (PN and Tibetan antelope (TA) often grazed low‐quality herbage in a wildness environment, and the higher microbial diversity and resilient network characteristics

Bluer in the city: urban male lizards exhibit more intense sexual coloration and lower parasite loads than non‐urban males

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The urban environment may exert different selective pressures on sexually selected traits than more pristine environments. Our study shows that sexual coloration is more saturated (bluer) in male lizards from urban environments than in male non‐urban lizards. The average parasite load is lower in urban lizards than in non‐urban lizards.

Chinese Pangolin Changes Local Vertebrate Assemblages and Contributes to Their Interspecific Interactions by Burrowing and Revisitation

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...
