Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.

Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.

Reusing Geospatial Data of Invasive Alien Insect Species From the Literature: Significance, Challenges, and Potential

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We use bibliometric analysis to evaluate geospatial data reuse for invasive alien insect species (IAIS). Of 1032 relevant publications, 51.0% lacked downloadable raw data. Integrating cross‐regional, temporal, and multi‐species data could address single‐study limitations, but data scarcity remains a barrier.

The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

A Wildlife Multi‐Modal Recognition Method Based on Infrared Camera Images Using MWAC

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A multimodal wild wildlife classification model MWAC consists of two parts:(1) Wavelet KAN module (WDS‐KAN) for image feature extraction, and (2) Label Correlated Text Extraction module (LC‐BERT) for text feature extraction. ABSTRACT Nowadays, infrared camera technology has become an important tool for large‐scale monitoring and assessment of wildlife ...

Microbiota‐Mediated Sequential Gallery Colonization by Adults and Larvae of an Invasive Bark Beetle

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Dispersing adult beetles harbor more pinitol‐degrading microbes to colonize novel host pines with high levels of pinitol stress. These microbes from the beetle's exoskeleton and gut will be transmitted into the gallery via adults’ feeding and frass, whose proliferation in the gallery contributes to the formation of a low‐pinitol microhabitat.
