First quantitative study of the Indian pangolin population in Buner District. GIS mapping revealed uneven spatial distribution across elevation zones. ABSTRACT The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata), an elusive and endangered mammal, remains poorly studied in Pakistan, particularly in the mountain landscapes of the Lesser Himalayas.

Climate and Land‐Use Change May Reshape the Biogeography of Freshwater Crabs Across China
We employed ensemble species distribution models to investigate how climate and land‐use change will impact habitat suitability for two freshwater crab families (Potamidae and Sesarmidae) across China. Temperature emerged as the dominant driver, with cropland and urban land having strong, family‐specific effects on suitability. Future scenarios predict

Factors Affecting Multiple Paternity: Insights From the Eastern Quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus)
Eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus) exhibit multiple paternity in approximately half of all litters. Reproductive success is correlated with heavier weight, youth, and being black rather than fawn colour morph. A cross‐species analysis indicates that high rates of multiple paternity within the Dasyuridae area correlated with shorter lifespan and ...

The first regional survey of spontaneous plant communities across 17 cities on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau shows that natural climatic conditions, especially precipitation and wind speed, are the primary drivers of variation in community diversity, while urbanization and habitat quality jointly structure plant community composition.

Size‐Dependent Habitat Selection in a Tropical Freshwater Crayfish: Preference for Vegetated Refugia
Young freshwater crayfish need shelter to survive, but it is often unclear whether they actively choose safe habitats or simply remain where they are found. We show that craylings and juvenile red claw crayfish prefer vegetated habitats over bare sand or gravel, and that this preference becomes stronger as crayfish grow.

For the first time in Gammarus insensibilis, a single‐organism 1H NMR metabolomics approach was applied to investigate the intrapopulation variability in growth trajectories showing how divergent size classes, despite being of the same age, reflect alternative resource‐allocation strategies.

Catchment Influences on Carbon Stable Isotope Variation in Trout; Might It Be Methane?
Trout stable carbon isotope values vary significantly and appear to relate to catchment characteristics. Low carbon stable isotope values are linked to catchments with low drainage soil and high cover of pasture land use. This is likely to be linked to high levels of methane‐derived carbon entering the stream food web.
