Volatile Compounds in Feathers of the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Reflect Sex and Pair‐Bond Status
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Scarlet macaws exhibit sex‐ and pair‐related differences in plumage volatile composition, with males showing greater chemical richness. Partnered individuals differ in specific compound classes, whereas no clear association with immune function was detected. These results support a potential role for olfactory cues in sexual and social communication in

Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We combined occurrence records across China with multisource environmental variables using ensemble species distribution modeling, optimal‐parameter geographical detector analysis, and dispersal simulations to estimate future habitat accessibility for Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae). ABSTRACT Montane forest birds are highly vulnerable

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Tropical forest canopies host diverse tree and liana assemblages, yet key foliar and reproductive traits needed for taxonomic identification of canopy plants are often difficult to see from the forest floor, creating a bottleneck in inventories.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).
