Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Lagomorpha as a Model Morphological System
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Due to their global distribution, invasive history, and unique characteristics, European rabbits are recognizable almost anywhere on our planet. Although they are members of a much larger group of living and extinct mammals [Mammalia, Lagomorpha (rabbits,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Effect of chronic traffic noise on behavior and physiology of plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 During the last two decades, numerous studies have shown the effects of traffic noise on animal vocal communication. However, studies on the influences of traffic noise on wildlife behavior and physiology are scarce.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 322-338, February 2026.Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This review synthesizes over 15 years of advancements in eDNA technology by systematizing standardized guidelines for sampling, extraction, and bioinformatics, thereby enhancing the reproducibility of eDNA‐based research. It highlights eDNA's transformative role in noninvasively detecting rare, endangered, and invasive species, as well as its value in ...
