Mitochondrial Genome Comparison and Phylogenetic Analysis of Four Species of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolDung beetles have important ecological and economical values; however, the molecular research of the taxonomic group is very limited. We sequenced mitochondrial genomes of four Scarabaeinae species, with sizes from 14,977 to 18,425 bp, and identified novel gene rearrangements.

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

A tale about vipers’ tails: phylogeography of black-tailed rattlesnakes [PDF]
Herpetozoa, 2022 The phylogenetic relationships among black-tailed rattlesnakes remain poorly understood and some authors indicated that the diversity of this group has been underestimated and additional analyses are required to clarify the biogeographic patterns ...

Heart rate reveals torpor at high body temperatures in lowland tropical free-tailed bats [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Reduction in metabolic rate and body temperature is a common strategy for small endotherms to save energy. The daily reduction in metabolic rate and heterothermy, or torpor, is particularly pronounced in regions with a large variation in daily ambient ...
