Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

Parasites at the Summit: Unexpected Geographic Distribution of the Blood Parasite Lineage Found in the Endangered Giant Lizard of Tenerife

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Seasonal Gut Microbiome Variation Associated With Both Climate and Wildlife Tourism in Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We provide an early description of the gut microbiome of wild, free‐ranging Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon data from 123 fecal samples collected across 6 months in two Sri Lankan national parks, we found that gut microbiome composition varied significantly by sampling month and, to a lesser extent, by park.

Environmental Drivers of Geographic Isolation in Three Pika Species in Northeast Asia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Using bias‐corrected species distribution models, we found that geographic isolation among three northeastern Asian pika species (Ochotona coreana, Ochotona mantchurica, and Ochotona hyperborea) reflects both divergent environmental preferences and potential competitive interactions. O.
