Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.The mitogenomes of two endemic and threatened Asian horned toads, Boulenophrys sangzhiensis and Boulenophrys tuberogranulata, were sequenced and reported for the first time. A phylogenetic reconstruction based on all available mitogenomes within Megophryidae revealed a very special phylogenetic and distributional pattern of the two sympatric species ...

Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene Vertebrates and Paleoenvironments on the Southern High Plains, U.S.A. [PDF]
, 1986 Only a few vertebrate faunas are known for the Southern High Plains from the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. This review focuses on vertebrate local faunas from two major localities on opposite sides of the region but in the same drainage system ...

Biotic interactions vary across species' ranges and are likely conserved through geological time
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 894-908, May 2024.Abstract Aim The evolutionary interactions between western spadefoot toads (genus Spea) represent a textbook example of character displacement, facilitated by dietary specialization of one Spea species on fairy shrimp (Anostraca) when all three co‐occur. The aim of this study is to understand the covariation between predator (Spea) and prey (Anostraca)

No preference in female sika deer for conspecific over heterospecific male sexual calls in a mate choice context [PDF]
, 2014 Mating signals can be used both in contexts of species recognition and mate quality assessment. This study examines species recognition abilities in oestrous females presented with male mating calls from both conspecifics and closely related allopatric ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2024.By revisiting three decades of molecular data, we retraced the evolution and mapped the diversity of Pelophylax water frogs, a famous group of Eurasian amphibians. The results highlight the Paratethys Paleo‐sea as a major driver of diversification, implement a new timetree validation approach, emphasize the rare ability of lineages to hybridize despite

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.This study has examined vertebrate blood meals in Ornithodoros turicata soft ticks (Acari: Argasidae) from two locations in Texas, USA. Vertebrates from 274 individual O. turicata revealed 27 different vertebrate hosts and were compared to camera trap observations in both locations showing over‐ or under‐utilization of different hosts. O.
