Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

A Comprehensive Repository of Morphological, Life‐History, Ecological, and Environmental Data for Sirenians and Marine Carnivorans Worldwide

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We constructed a standardized data repository for all 46 species, integrating 56 variables across morphological and physiological, life‐history, ecological, biogeographical, environmental, and conservation dimensions. Additionally, we collected data on body size, coloration, distributional range, and extinction risk for all 22 subspecies.

Species Habitat Specificity Impacts the Thermosensitivity of Evaporative Water Loss in Sympatric Rattlesnakes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Temperature differentially impacts evaporative water loss in sympatric congeners (genus Crotalus). At the highest temperature the species with the broadest distribution in terms of range and habitat variability had significantly higher evaporative water loss than other species.

Multiple Community Informants Enhance Public Information About Predators Across a Latitudinal Gradient in Bird Communities of China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated bird communities across a 1650‐km latitudinal gradient in China where there is a transition in which “community informant” species play important roles in providing public information about predation, from babblers in the south to tits in the north. We found that both babblers and tits jointly contribute vocalizations when they are both

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...
