A Comprehensive Repository of Morphological, Life‐History, Ecological, and Environmental Data for Sirenians and Marine Carnivorans Worldwide

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We constructed a standardized data repository for all 46 species, integrating 56 variables across morphological and physiological, life‐history, ecological, biogeographical, environmental, and conservation dimensions. Additionally, we collected data on body size, coloration, distributional range, and extinction risk for all 22 subspecies.

Species Habitat Specificity Impacts the Thermosensitivity of Evaporative Water Loss in Sympatric Rattlesnakes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Temperature differentially impacts evaporative water loss in sympatric congeners (genus Crotalus). At the highest temperature the species with the broadest distribution in terms of range and habitat variability had significantly higher evaporative water loss than other species.

Dorsal Crypsis and Chemical Defense Jointly Shape Brain Size in Toads

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that total brain size and dorsal crypsis under both ultraviolet‐sensitive (UVS) and violet‐sensitive (VS) tetrachromatic bird visual models were negatively associated across eight species of toads. Our findings suggest that when species reduce predation risk by evolving increased dorsal crypsis, they may exhibit decreased brain size due to ...
