Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Ecography, EarlyView.Insects are the most diverse terrestrial organisms, yet they are underrepresented in large‐scale conservation assessments. To address this gap, the California Insect Barcoding Initiative is developing a publicly accessible, statewide DNA‐barcode reference library for California insects to support scalable surveys, establish baseline biodiversity ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We use ecological niche model predictions across the next 3 decades for 263 forest‐dependent, terrestrial, vertebrate species of conservation concern in the Southeastern Appalachians under 4 future climate scenarios. We overlay these predictions with a collaborative conservation plan to determine if the priority map successfully represents potential ...
