Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Reusing Geospatial Data of Invasive Alien Insect Species From the Literature: Significance, Challenges, and Potential

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We use bibliometric analysis to evaluate geospatial data reuse for invasive alien insect species (IAIS). Of 1032 relevant publications, 51.0% lacked downloadable raw data. Integrating cross‐regional, temporal, and multi‐species data could address single‐study limitations, but data scarcity remains a barrier.

Morphotype Bias, Morph Specific Recruitment and No Elevation‐Life History Relation in High Altitude Mesquite Lizard Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Site‐level differences in population growth (λ) and phenotype frequencies. Mountain silhouettes represent the three study sites. Morph relative abundances are shown in the colored vertical bar. Point estimates and confidence intervals of λ for each site are displayed below, with the dashed line marking the threshold for demographic stability (λ = 1 ...

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.

Early‐Life Telomere Length Negatively Covaries With Brood Size and Father Age, and Predicts Long‐Term Survival in Male Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In barn swallows, nestlings raised in larger broods or by older social fathers have shorter telomeres, and those with longer telomeres tend to live longer, suggesting that early‐life conditions may shape individual lifespan through telomere dynamics. ABSTRACT Parental decisions on breeding, such as brood size and timing of reproduction, influence the ...
