Beta diversity of Arctiinae moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) along a recovering tropical forest gradient

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using novel approaches of Hill‐number based and coverage‐standardized dissimilarity metrics and community‐weighted traits, we show that tiger moth communities exhibit various traits prone to land‐use intensity and undergo a complex and non‐linear response to tropical rainforest recovery, corroborating recent findings on biotic differentiation (Keck et ...

Distribution and fauna characteristics of Zeuzerinae (Lepidoptera, Cossidae) in the New World

Acta Biologica Sibirica
The New World fauna of Zeuzerinae remains insufficiently studied in faunistic and biogeographical terms, despite the economic importance of some species and the broad distribution of the subfamily.

The spatiotemporal effects of seasonal migration on passerine phylogenetic community structure

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The effects of mobile organisms on community structure and assembly are poorly understood. Distributional data show that seasonal migration in birds drives a complex continental redistribution of phylogenetic community structure. These results reveal a dynamic continental landscape of community structure directed by the movements of migratory birds ...

Behavioural flexibility within ecological constraints: Local‐scale landscape composition modulates habitat selection and foraging strategies in a forest‐dependent carnivorous bat

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Animals increasingly move through landscapes very different from those in which their ecological strategies evolved, posing new challenges for ecologically specialized species. By tracking a forest‐dependent carnivorous bat across contrasting landscapes, this study shows how local habitat composition shapes landscape use, while behavioural flexibility ...

The Evolution of Male Weapons Is Associated with the Type of Breeding Site in a Clade of Neotropical Frogs

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.

Environmental DNA succeeds in detecting a low‐density population of endangered harlequin frogs

Conservation Science and Practice
The neotropical harlequin frog genus Atelopus is among the most severely impacted by population declines and extinctions. Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a valuable, non‐invasive tool to detect low‐density and elusive species.

Species richness, taxonomy and peculiarities of the neotropical rust fungi: are they more diverse in the Neotropics? [PDF]

, 2018
The species richness of rust fungi (Pucciniales or Uredinales) in the neotropics is reviewed. Species numbers are presented for all neotropical countries and rust-plant-ratios calculated.

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.
