New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.The microorganisms living in a host's gut are important for digestion and immune response and are an important facet to understanding host ecology. For tuatara, the gut microbiome presents an opportunity to examine bacteria associated with a long‐lived and evolutionarily distinct reptile and to understand how tuatara ecology is mediated or supported by

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 204-215, March 2026.This study examined how background colour influences behaviour and development in golden mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) tadpoles across ontogeny. Tadpoles preferred darker backgrounds, and this preference got less strong with increasing age. Individuals reared in darker conditions were less active but did not differ in growth rate and shelter use when ...

VOCALIZATION OF THE CROCODILE SKINK, TRIBOLONOTUS GRACILIS (DE ROOY, 1909), AND EVIDENCE OF PARENTAL CARE. [PDF]
, 2001 The crocodile or spiny skinks, Tribolonotus, comprise eight secretive semi-fossorial lizards, which are generally found under vegetation in the immediate vicinity of water (Greer and Parker, 1968; O'Shea, 1991, 1994; Rogner, 1997). Tribolonotus gracilis (

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

An analysis of the linked decisions in the confiscation of illegally traded turtles
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.Increased enforcement of laws governing the international trade of freshwater turtles is increasing the numbers of confiscated turtles. Decision makers are thus increasingly faced with a complex decision, involving multiple linked agencies, regarding the disposition of turtles of unknown origin and disease status, which creates uncertainty about the ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Many amphibians are experiencing declines, which are exacerbated for populations near range edges. To inform conservation strategies, we sampled sites of Blanchard's Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi) at the northern periphery of their range to determine if modern declines are associated with genetic factors, delineate management units, and ...
