Gut Microbiota of Gray Snub‐Nosed Monkeys: Adaptation to Seasonal Variations Through Energy Compensation and Thermogenesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.

Snake Gut Microbiota as a Source of Anti‐Inflammatory Probiotics: Isolation and Functional Characterization of Two Novel Strains

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study assessed the probiotic potential of intestinal microbiomes from five snake species using metagenomics and in vitro isolation, identifying two promising strains (Lactobacillus johnsonii DA0116 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri DA0218) through comprehensive screening.

Quantum‐Enhanced Weighted Gene Co‐Expression Network Analysis Reveals Regulatory Networks Underlying Sexual Size Dimorphism in Macrobrachium nipponense

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A quantum‐enhanced weighted gene co‐expression network analysis framework integrating quantum amplitude amplification is developed to overcome sample size constraints in zoological genomics. This noise‐tolerant analytical strategy enables robust network reconstruction for non‐model species with limited biological replicates.

Captive Breeding of the Chinese Alligator Reduces Inbreeding but Increases Genetic Load

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Captive breeding of the Chinese alligator successfully reduced genomic inbreeding but increased the burden of deleterious mutations. Genomic analyses indicate that managing both genetic diversity and genetic load is essential for the long‐term conservation of this critically endangered species.

Western Balkans as the Frontline of Russian Hybrid Warfare

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybrid warfare (HW) scholarship acknowledges the phenomenon's contextual and temporal specificity, yet its dominant conceptual framing has generated a literature largely centred on identifying and categorising hybrid activities. This focus has left the contextual vulnerabilities that enable hybrid threats (HTs) and shape an adversary's ...

Deterrence Through Resilience and Civil Preparedness: The Comprehensive and Militarised Models of Civil Defence

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As hybrid threats blur the line between war and peace and challenge conventional deterrence logics, states increasingly turn to concepts of resilience, civil preparedness and whole‐of‐society as elements of their security strategies. This raises the question of how civilian agency can be viewed as an element of deterrence and what the ...

Risk Scenarios for European Rearmament

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the European Union has launched a flurry of initiatives to ramp up European defence spending. Efforts to bolster European defence have further intensified in response to the United States' increasingly hostile stance towards its erstwhile European allies.

Double‐Edged Bandwagon Effects in International Law—Rationalist and Behavioral Explanations

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines bandwagon effects in international law by integrating rationalist and behavioral perspectives. While the diffusion of treaties and norms has often been understood as a progressive process leading to broader participation and compliance, states also imitate negative examples, resulting in treaty withdrawals, non‐compliance,
