Taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships of the desert monitor Varanus griseus caspius (Squamata: Varanidae) from the territory of Uzbekistan

Acta Biologica Sibirica
This study investigates the phylogenetic position and genetic diversity of Varanus griseus caspius, a widely distributed yet understudied subspecies of monitor lizard in Central Asia, with a focus on samples collected from Uzbekistan. Using DNA barcoding

Unlocking landscape transient dynamics: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge for enhanced analysis of land‐use changes and forest expansion in a Mediterranean ecosystem

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The Industrial Revolution triggered rural abandonment in Europe and had a profound impact on land configuration and ecosystem dynamics, mainly the growth of forests at the expense of open agricultural habitats. However, rural abandonment has been asynchronous in space and time, depending on regional socio‐economic dynamics.

Documenting mating behavior in a rare dwarf gecko: first field data on Lygodactylus wetzeli (Smith, Martin & Swain 1977) (Squamata: Gekkonidae)

Natural History Sciences
Reproductive behavior studies are essential for understanding the biology and ecology of species, particularly for poorly known and endemic taxa, as they provide insights into population dynamics, adaptations, and conservation strategies.

Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

How Do We Measure and Increase Systems Thinking? Comparing Self‐Reported and Performative Metrics in Response to Building Causal Loop Models

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systems thinking is a mindset and skill essential to understanding and addressing complex challenges. However, increasing and measuring systems thinking is difficult. In this research, we compared multiple approaches to measuring systems thinking, including self‐reported measures of a systems thinking mindset and performative measures of ...

Phase Hologram by Acoustic Metasurfaces

Small Structures, EarlyView.
This work has achieved a breakthrough in holographic communication, realizing phase holographic imaging. The proposed phase holographic concept overcomes the limitations of traditional amplitude holographic energy attenuation. The design of its amplitude compensation method further addresses the key challenge of phase holographic imaging clarity ...
