Ancient DNA reveals differences in behaviour and sociality between brown bears and extinct cave bears [PDF]

, 1997
Ancient DNA studies have revolutionized the study of extinct species and populations, providing insights on phylogeny, phylogeography, admixture and demographic history. However, inferences on behaviour and sociality have been far less frequent. Here, we

BSG‐BATS: An open‐source data annotation portal and classifier for European bat vocalizations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Bats are ecologically important mammals whose monitoring increasingly relies on acoustic data. However, many tools for bat call identification remain subscription‐based, closed‐source, region‐specific or limited in scalability, creating barriers to global data integration and method development.

Intensity of parasitic mite infection decreases with hibernation duration of the host snail [PDF]

, 2017
Temperature can be a limiting factor on parasite development. Riccardoella limacum, a haematophagous mite, lives in the mantle cavity of helicid land snails. The prevalence of infection by R. limacum in populations of the land snail Arianta arbustorum is

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Prioritizing bat roosts for conservation with a global multicriteria bat roost priority index based on community science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prioritization in conservation is crucial for the development of efficient and effective decision‐making policies. For many decades, the importance of some species and their habitats has been assessed and applied in conservation legislation, but bats and their diurnal roosts have ofbeen overlooked.

Perspectives on the Effect of Incubation Temperature on Pine Snake Hatchlings

Ethology, EarlyView.
Effect of timing of egg‐laying and incubation temperature on the possible phenology of events for early egg‐laying females (laying June 15, the earliest laying date), the mid‐laying date (July 4), and late egg‐laying females (July 17, the latest egg‐laying date). Based on data from many papers.

Locating nests of endangered bumble bees: Lessons from field trials in northern Germany

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Tracking bumble bees to find their nests using coloured strips of paper stuck to their thorax proved to be the most suitable method, while radio transponders were too heavy. Tracking times of up to 2 h and distances of up to 800 m were achieved with strips of pink craft tissue paper.

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical
