This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were used to validate gonadal development–related genes and to identify a sex‐specific molecular marker in Hucho bleekeri. ABSTRACT Sex determination and differentiation represent fundamental topics in reproductive biology. Sichuan taimen (Hucho bleekeri), a first‐class national protected fish species in

It's Complicated: How Sex, Family, and Season Affect Growth of a Sexually Size Dimorphic Spider
Extreme female‐biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in Nephilingis cruentata emerges when male and female growth trajectories diverge mid‐development. Seasonal effects influence both sexes similarly, but family effects are strongly sex‐specific. These patterns identify a critical developmental window for mechanistic studies of SSD.

Lacustrine forms of Triglopsis from North American and European lakes are at different stages of evolution, making them a suitable model for testing hypotheses about evolutionary patterns and rates. An integrative analysis of morphological, genetic, and biological adaptations occurring in lacustrine forms of the genus Triglopsis was carried out.

‐ Female T. scripta exhibit a clear size‐dependent reproductive investment, where larger plastron length is positively associated with all key reproductive traits. ‐ Female T. scripta reach sexual maturity at a plastron length of approximately 15–18 cm. ABSTRACT In invasive species, reproductive success may determine invasion outcomes and influence the

Genomic Diversity of the Endangered Guinan Toad‐Headed Lizard and Its Conservation Implications
We produced HiFi long reads and assembled a high‐quality genome for the Guinan toad‐headed lizard—Phrynocephalus guinanensis—and present a comprehensive conservation genomics assessment. Our findings clearly show population structure, a reduced genetic diversity pattern, and a strong bottleneck in demographic history, reaffirming the endangered status ...
