A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

Validating a low‐cost alternative to body surface area estimation: Implications for energy budgets and scaling relationships of ectotherms

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The surface area of organisms is a key parameter in ecological and evolutionary applications. For example, surface area‐dependent traits such as rates of cutaneous water loss and of heat absorbed are relevant for predicting animal desiccation rates and body temperatures.

An Overview of the Rock Art of AlUla: Tracing Changes in Content and Form Across 12,000 Years of Human History

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 2018 and 2021, the Identification and Documentation of Immovable Heritage Assets (IDIHA) Project recorded over 19,000 rock art panels in the AlUla (al‐‘Ulā) region of north‐western Saudi Arabia. This study presents a chronological assessment of the corpus, drawing on superimpositions, datable motifs, inscriptions, and varnish formation,

Using Periodic Matrix Models to Simulate the Effectiveness of Alternative Reintroduction Strategies for Lizards on a Seasonal Tropical Island

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Guam's lizard fauna has been devastated by the invasive brown treesnake, but recent advances in brown treesnake control have opened the possibility of reintroducing native lizards. We simulated different strategies for reintroducing lizards to Guam, comparing the timing and age‐structure of releases.

Emergence of Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis barbatae and Paranannizziopsis in free‐ranging Australian reptiles

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Emerging fungal diseases pose a threat to reptiles globally. Increasing detections of onygenalean fungi, particularly Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis spp. and Paranannizziopsis spp. in clinically diseased free‐ranging reptiles, indicate likely ongoing spread within wild reptile populations.
