Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

The Climate Niche Pressure on the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau Predominates the Diversification of Advertisement Calls in Frogs (Leptobrachella)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The diversification of advertisement calls is largely driven by climatic niche differentiation. Our results provide acoustic evidence for studies on ecological speciation in anurans.

Temporal Responses to Warming: Do Wild Herbivores Trade Off Heat, Predators, and Humans?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We untangled how summer temperature, predators, and humans influenced behavioral responses in two deer species. Both reduced their daily activity level in response to warming, yet only roe deer increased nocturnality to avoid heat. Conversely, fallow deer traded off heat avoidance with predator avoidance.

Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of integrating PAM with BirdNET, a convolutional neural network originally developed for avian vocalization detection, to monitor two critically endangered lemurs, Indri indri and Varecia variegata, in Madagascar's Maromizaha rainforest.
