Dialect Formation in Ghost Bats: Genetic, Geographic and Morphological Drivers of Social and Echolocation Call Divergence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dialect formation in the vocal repertoire of the ghost bat Macroderma gigas was investigated by comparing acoustic, geographic, genetic and morphological distances among colonies in the Northern Territory Australia. Dialects were detected in all vocalisation types examined, and while genetic (and geographic distance) explained some of the variation ...

A Brief Review of Non-Avian Reptile Environmental DNA (eDNA), with a Case Study of Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta) eDNA Under Field Conditions

Diversity, 2019
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an increasingly used non-invasive molecular tool for detecting species presence and monitoring populations. In this article, we review the current state of non-avian reptile eDNA work in aquatic systems, and present a field ...

Molecular detection and genetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites in Iran. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:The mobility of birds across or between continents exposes them to numerous vectors that have the potential to transmit pathogens and spread them into new regions. A combination of rich species diversity of birds along with the small amount of

The role of historical and contemporary processes on phylogeographic structure and genetic diversity in the Northern Cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis [PDF]

, 2011
Background Earth history events such as climate change are believed to have played a major role in shaping patterns of genetic structure and diversity in species. However, there is a lag between the time of historical events and the collection of present-

Maternal zinc alleviates tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress on embryonic development involving the activation of Nrf2/PGC-1α pathway

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Mitochondrial dysfunction induced by excessive mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) damages embryonic development and leads to growth arrest.

Comparative Phylogeography of Southern African Bird Species Suggests an Ephemeral Speciation Model

Diversity, 2021
Southern Africa is remarkably rich in avian species diversity; however, the evolutionary and biogeographic mechanisms responsible for that diversity are, in general, poorly understood, and this is particularly true with respect to the many species that ...

Correlates of genetic monogamy in socially monogamous mammals: insights from Azara's owl monkeys [PDF]

, 2014
Understanding the evolution of mating systems, a central topic in evolutionary biology for more than 50 years, requires examining the genetic consequences of mating and the relationships between social systems and mating systems.

Phylogeny, systematics and evolution of mimicry patterns in Neotropical limenitidine butterflies

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The most comprehensive phylogeny for Adelpha reveals that it is not monophyletic, supporting the description of the new genus Adelphina for the alala‐group. The rate of mimicry evolution increases towards the tropics, consistent with the hypothesis of stronger biotic interactions near the equator.

A new species of Muscicapa flycatcher from Sulawesi, Indonesia.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The Indonesian island of Sulawesi, a globally important hotspot of avian endemism, has been relatively poorly studied ornithologically, to the extent that several new bird species from the region have been described to science only recently, and others ...
