Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Soil sampling for eDNA is a useful approach to assess ecological communities in specific locations, such as comparing community composition across different site treatments. However, species' dispersal abilities and habitat selection, among many other factors, drive the uneven distribution of organisms across the landscape. Thus, to accurately

Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using the recent case of an Andean jaguar translocated hundreds of kilometers to a distinct savanna ecosystem in Colombia, we critique the prevalent “Reactive Removal” model often framed misleadingly as “rescue.” We contrast this approach, which disregards local adaptation, creates ecosystem mismatches, and blocks natural range recovery, with a needed “
