Colour Morphs as Alternative Solutions to the Trade‐Off Predicted by the Immuno‐Competence Handicap Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 639-651, May 2026.
In this study, we tested whether white and yellow morphs of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) adopt alternative strategies shaped by the immuno‐competence handicap hypotheses (ICHH). We found that testosterone‐induced immune suppression was stronger in white males, while aggression decreased in both morphs.

Afforestation of tropical savannas has mixed consequences for bird communities

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Moving beyond the prevailing binary perception of savanna afforestation being either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for native biodiversity, our data suggests that plantations on the rainfall extremes should be viewed as important supplementary habitats for biodiversity.

Weak Nuclear Divergence Despite Pronounced Mitochondrial Divergence Within a Widespread Desert‐Inhabiting Palearctic Lark (Aves: Alaudidae)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 389-404, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Bar‐tailed Lark Ammomanes cinctura is a polytypic bird species with a wide distribution. One of its three subspecies, A. c. arenicolor, has previously been found to show deep mitochondrial divergence between its geographically most distant populations, from Morocco and Saudi Arabia, respectively.
