Biogeographic Implications of Biodiversity Shortfalls in a Mid‐Altitude Desert Ecotone of the Arabian Peninsula

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Macroscale biodiversity inferences are critical for spatial conservation planning, yet they are affected by the limitations of global datasets and the paucity of genetic data. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive sampling campaign and explored how biodiversity shortfalls impact spatial diversity metrics across a mid‐altitude desert ...

Unleashing diversity through flexibility: The evolutionary journey of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 341, Issue 3, Page 230-241, April 1, 2024.
Sex determination systems have greatly diversified between amphibians and reptiles. In this review, we discuss the diversity of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles resulted from comparative analyses of chromosome homology of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles reported so far, using the genome of the chicken, which is thought to resemble ...

Functional diversity of snake locomotor behaviors: A review of the biological literature for bioinspiration

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1533, Issue 1, Page 16-37, March 2024.
Snakes inhabit nearly every imaginable terrestrial environment, moving with ease under many conditions that would thwart other animals. Several facets of their functional diversity could have applications for bioinspired design. Here, we review snake locomotor behavior with a focus on biomechanics and environmental context, and then discuss the ...
