Multilocus Phylogeny of Asiatic Striped Squirrels (Sciuridae, Tamiops) Reveals Their Evolutionary Relationships and Species Limits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The genus Tamiops has long been underestimated in terms of species diversity due to reliance on seasonal fur coloration. This study integrates mitochondrial whole‐genome and nuclear gene data to identify seven monophyletic lineages, elevating T. maritimus hainanus to independent species status.

Testing for polytomies in phylogenetic species trees using quartet frequencies

open access: yes, 2018
Phylogenetic species trees typically represent the speciation history as a bifurcating tree. Speciation events that simultaneously create more than two descendants, thereby creating polytomies in the phylogeny, are possible.

High‐Quality Genome Assembly of Diplocarpon coronariae Unveils LTR Retrotransposon‐Driven Structural Dynamics in Fungi Evolution

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR‐RTs) are recognised as a significant evolutionary force capable of shaping the structure and function of the genomes in eukaryotes, including animals, plants, and fungi. However, much remains largely unknown about how LTR‐RTs influence the evolution of fungi at the chromosomal level.

Community dynamics of insular biotas in space and time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The various features determining species distributions remain enigmatic in ecology. This thesis deals with the spatial and temporal dynamics of land birds on the islands of the Dahlak archipelago, the Red Sea, and of mammals, birds and reptiles among the

On the color change in Japanese Crested Ibis

open access: yesJournal of the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology, 1970
Although white and grey forms had long been known in Japanese Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon, its scarcity prevented detailed research. Contrary to a former opinion that these were color phases, Mr. H. Sato (1957) considered them as seasonal forms and later suggested (1968) that the grey form is caused by cosmetic coloration toward breeding season.This ...

Nestling Growth and Brood Reduction in the Southern Yellow‐Billed Hornbill (Tockus leucomelas)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
In the southern yellow‐billed hornbill, Tockus leucomelas, we found first‐hatched nestlings had a higher growth rate and that growth rate was negatively correlated with mortality, such that early hatching nestlings were more likely to survive than their younger siblings. Brood reduction was more likely to occur in larger broods and was predicted by the

Linking Habitat Conditions, Human Pressures, and Waterbird Diversity in a West African Coastal Wetland

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Tanji wetland complex, situated on the Atlantic coast of The Gambia, is a coastal mosaic of mangroves, riparian forest, lagoons, and offshore islands of high ornithological significance. Despite its protected status, the reserve faces mounting pressures from human activities and environmental change, yet comprehensive ecological data ...
