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.

Phylogenetic and Functional Originality Shape Species Positions in Flea–Mammal Networks Across Biogeographic Realms

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The relationship between the position of a flea species in the networks and its functional originality was found to be consistently positive in all realms, independently of which originality index was used. ABSTRACT We investigated the relationships between a species’ network position (measured as the combined normalized degree, species strength, and ...

TABMON: Design and deployment of a transnational passive acoustic monitoring network for European birds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological surveys are often fragmented, costly and limited in scale, leading to large and long‐standing knowledge gaps which threaten our ability to properly safeguard biodiversity. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has promised to deliver automated biodiversity monitoring, but networks are rarely deployed on scales that can offer truly novel

ForestForTrees: An R package to infer forest structure from remote sensing data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating forest size‐abundance distributions is essential for understanding demographic processes and structural dynamics. Remote sensing provides broad coverage but often misses smaller trees hidden beneath the canopy, complicating inference of the full size distribution.

A Threat‐Scoring Framework Using Crowdsourced Data Indicates High Threat Levels in Fossorial Shieldtail Snakes

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Reliable estimates of species distributions are crucial for understanding their conservation needs. Yet for many species, IUCN largely relies on expert‐drawn ranges, which are often inaccurate. Focusing on shieldtail snakes in peninsular India, we combined citizen science, literature, field, and museum records to create improved distribution maps for ...

Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.
