Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

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 ...

The Climate Niche Pressure on the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau Predominates the Diversification of Advertisement Calls in Frogs (Leptobrachella)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The diversification of advertisement calls is largely driven by climatic niche differentiation. Our results provide acoustic evidence for studies on ecological speciation in anurans.

Inferring processes within dynamic forest models using hybrid modelling

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Modelling forest dynamics under novel climatic conditions requires a careful balance between process‐based understanding and empirical flexibility. Dynamic vegetation models (DVM) represent ecological processes mechanistically, but their performance is sensitive to misspecified functional forms and to unavoidable structural simplifications ...

High temporal resolution monitoring of illicit drug consumption across England via wastewater analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To monitor community‐level consumption of 20 illicit drugs across urban areas of England using wastewater‐based epidemiology (WBE) surveillance at high temporal resolution. Design, setting, cases This study was conducted over a 12‐month period in 2022 sampling 24‐hour composite wastewater samples at 15 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs ...

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Resolving Micrometre‐Scale Zircon Growth in Silicic Systems by 7 μm LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb Dating: Linking Petrology and Geochronology in Silicic Volcanic and Granitic Rocks from Victoria, Australia

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points 7 μm spot‐diameter LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS analyses yield accurate zircon U‐Pb ages. 1013 Ω amplifier resistors improve low‐signal Pb measurements. Saturn correction protocols minimise down‐hole fractionation effects. We present a systematic evaluation of high spatial‐resolution zircon U‐Pb dating using a Thermo Scientific Neoma multi‐collector ICP‐MS ...
