Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Aposematic signaling and seasonal variation in dorsal pelage in a venomous mammal
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In mammals, colouration patterns are often related to concealment, intraspecific communication, including aposematic signals, and physiological adaptations.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of variation in nest predation of ground‐nesting birds
Ibis, EarlyView.Predation and communities of predators of ground‐nesting bird nests and fledglings have been studied across multiple groups of ground‐nesting birds, such as waders, waterbirds, gamebirds and passerines, and habitats, but differences and similarities between groups are less studied.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biofluorescence is widespread among marine fish but remains poorly documented in polar ecosystems. Using hyperspectral imaging, we report fluorescent emissions in two polar zoarcid eelpouts. A captive Antarctic eelpout (Pachycara brachycephalum) displayed uniform bright green fluorescence (~500–520 nm), whereas an Arctic eelpout (Lycodes ...

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.

All-metallic wide-angle metasurfaces for multifunctional polarization manipulation
Opto-Electronic Advances, 2019 Optical camouflage is a magical capability of animals as first noticed in 1794 by Erasmus Darwin in Zoonomia, but current biomimetic camouflage strategies cannot be readily applied in complex environments involving multispectral and in particular multi ...
