Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.We analyzed multi‐tissue expression patterns in the all‐female, parthenogenetic, and triploid Brahminy blindsnake (Indotyphlops braminus) using PacBio and Illumina RNA‐seq to better understand polyploidy and asexual reproduction in vertebrates. By characterizing differential expression and co‐expression networks across the ovary, heart, liver, skin ...

Spotted Patterns of Glass Frogs Can Disguise Imperfections in Transparency to Improve Camouflage
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.Transparency could be considered the idealized version of camouflage, capable of producing remarkable background matching across heterogeneous microhabitats. However, although examples of highly transparent species indeed exist, transparency is often imperfect in execution, especially in terrestrial animal species.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.Using telemetry and accelerometry, we tracked nine critically endangered western ringtail possums (Pseudocheirus occidentalis) through a low‐ to moderate‐severity prescribed burn at Yalgorup National Park, south‐west Western Australia, and found that all individuals survived direct fire exposure.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 8, November 2026.Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.
