Urbanization and Vector Species Shape Avian Malaria Prevalence in Mosquitoes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian malaria prevalence was assessed in two mosquito species across urban and peri‐urban habitats. No infections were detected in either species in urban areas, while a 2.53% prevalence was found in the native Culex pipiens from peri‐urban sites, highlighting the influence of urbanization on parasite transmission dynamics.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

Early‐Life Telomere Length Negatively Covaries With Brood Size and Father Age, and Predicts Long‐Term Survival in Male Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In barn swallows, nestlings raised in larger broods or by older social fathers have shorter telomeres, and those with longer telomeres tend to live longer, suggesting that early‐life conditions may shape individual lifespan through telomere dynamics. ABSTRACT Parental decisions on breeding, such as brood size and timing of reproduction, influence the ...
