A Novel Antioxidant Peptide Cath‐Np Derived from Nanorana parkeri Attenuates UVB‐Induced Skin Photodamage in Mice

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of Cath‐Np as an antioxidant suppressing acute skin damage caused by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in mice. Cath‐Np inhibits the activation of p53 and mitogen‐activated protein kinase pathways while it activates the Nrf2 pathway by its strong antioxidant effects, and accordingly suppresses the expression of inflammatory factors

Sex Role–Dependent Behavioral and Architectural Divergence in a Jumping Spider

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract contrasts sex‐equivalent cognition (route‐planning & memory) with female‐biased nest architecture. Both sexes perform similarly in cognitive tests, but females build complex, geometry‐matching nests while males make simple shelters.

Amphibian‐Derived Peptide OA‐AL14 Alleviates UVB‐Induced Skin Photoaging via Autophagy Activation Mediated by the AMPK/mTOR Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates that the amphibian‐derived peptide OA‐AL14 protects against UVB‐induced skin photoaging through a dual mechanism: activating the Nrf2 pathway to counteract oxidative stress and modulating the AMPK/mTOR axis to induce protective autophagy. ABSTRACT Skin photoaging, primarily driven by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, is a

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives
