Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stages of oviparous species, because embryos have limited ability to thermoregulate behaviorally. To examine how

From co‐occurrence to temporal coupling in a coral defender guild
Oikos, EarlyView.Coral‐dwelling decapods can improve host fitness by defending corals against corallivores and sediment accumulation, yet the temporal dynamics linking co‐resident defenders remain poorly understood. Guard crabs Trapezia and snapping shrimp Alpheus provide complementary benefits to pocilloporid corals, and previous, largely cross‐sectional work has ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ascidians are invertebrates that occupy a key phylogenetic position as a sister group of the vertebrates. The organization of their central nervous system (CNS), with cortex and medulla, indicates a plesiomorphic character of the gray and white matter of vertebrates, making this group of animals useful for studies of neurodegenerative events ...
