Testing macroevolutionary predictions of the Grant‐Stebbins model in the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3137-3148, March 2026.
Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

Neuromeric Organization of the Microbat Brain: Conserved and Distinct Regional Features

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 2, February 2026.
The fundamental neuromeric modular plan is remarkably conserved across bats and rodents. However, there are significant regional differences in the size and organization of specific derivatives (A). In addition, both Tadarida brasiliensis and Myotis myotis share similar general patterns of TH‐positive processes and tracts in the basal plate of the ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Niviventer sacer (Rodentia: Muridae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
Niviventer sacer (Rodentia: Muridae) had been regarded as a subspecies of N. confucianus, i.e. N. c. sacer, and was raised as a distinct species recently by our laboratory. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of N.

A family case of fertile human 45,X,psu dic(15;Y) males [PDF]

, 2006
We report on a familial case including four male probands from three generations with a 45,X,psu dic(15;Y)(p11.2;q12) karyotype. 45,X is usually associated with a female phenotype and only rarely with maleness, due to translocation of small Y chromosomal

Seasonality, Moisture, and Host Community Structure of Haemaphysalis Ticks in a Subtropical Urban Mosaic in Hong Kong, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We integrated field surveys, DNA barcoding and integrative taxonomy, iDNA, and ecological modeling to resolve the distributions, seasonality, and host use of Haemaphysalis ticks across Hong Kong. Moisture was indicative of adult activity, and iDNA suggested predominant feeding on wild mammals, particularly wild boar and porcupine.

Co-evolution of the parasitic fungi Pneumocystis and their Muridae rodent hosts in Southeast Asia [PDF]

, 2014
Pneumocystis species are opportunistic and airborne-transmitted fungi that infect the lungs of numerous mammalian species. These highly diversified fungi are characterized by strong host specificity, probably associated with co-speciation. In this study,

Temporal niche partitioning by nocturnal arboreal mammals increases the modularity of plant–frugivore networks in a fragmented subtropical landscape

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 463-475, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal‐mediated seed dispersal sustains plant diversity and ecosystem functioning, particularly in fragmented landscapes. However, the specific contributions of nocturnal frugivores, particularly in above‐ground (arboreal) strata, are often overlooked, leading to ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 65-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the
