Cryptic Ontogenetic Changes in the Ventral Coloration of a Color Polymorphic Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 1, Page 39-57, January 2026.
Wall lizards' ventral coloration undergoes cryptic ontogenetic color changes invisible without UV vision. We tracked wall lizards from hatching to one year of age. Spectrophotometry and visual modeling reveal that juveniles show a distinct UV‐enhanced white coloration that changes differently across sexes and body regions.

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

Freshwater amphibians and squamates from Villeveyrac (lower Campanian; Hérault, France): palaeodiversity, palaeoenvironment and implications for the Late Cretaceous palaeobiogeography of the European herpetofauna

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Predator feeding choice on conspicuous and non-conspicuous carabid beetles: first results

ZooKeys, 2011
Insects use various types of behaviour, chemical defences, mimetic, aposematic or cryptic appearances as anti-predatory strategies. Among insects, carabid beetles of the genus Brachinus are distasteful prey because they discharge an irritating &ldquo ...

Extensive Field Observations Throw Light on the Evolution of Mimicry in Camponotus lateralis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Camponotus lateralis (C, D) mimics regional color morphs of Crematogaster (A, B). Field trips brought insights into ecology, trail sharing, sexual reproduction, colony foundation, nest defense, and predation pressure of this mimetic ant. We found that the mimicry is Batesian and suggest several preadaptations for its evolution.
