Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Water Use Behavior of Individual Birds: Ring Ouzels in an Arid High‐Mountain Ecosystem

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Water is a limiting resource for birds in arid ecosystems. Individual birds differ strongly in how they use shared water sources, with drinking behavior increasing with temperature. Behavioral differences, hierarchy, and social context ultimately shape unequal access to water within the population. ABSTRACT Water availability strongly constrains animal

Parasites at the Summit: Unexpected Geographic Distribution of the Blood Parasite Lineage Found in the Endangered Giant Lizard of Tenerife

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Environmental Drivers of Geographic Isolation in Three Pika Species in Northeast Asia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Using bias‐corrected species distribution models, we found that geographic isolation among three northeastern Asian pika species (Ochotona coreana, Ochotona mantchurica, and Ochotona hyperborea) reflects both divergent environmental preferences and potential competitive interactions. O.

Comparisons Between Large‐Scale Genomic Variants and SNPs in Driving Population Divergence and Local Adaptation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Candidate genes identified from SNPs, indels, and SVs exhibited limited shared genes, suggesting that diverse variant types capture complementary aspects of the adaptive landscape. Our results underscore the importance of incorporating multiple types of genomic variation to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of evolutionary processes.
