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 ...

Ecological and Evolutionary Predictors of Dorsal Colouration in Lagomorphs
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the extent to which dorsal body colouration in lagomorphs follows ecogeographical patterns, particularly Gloger's rule, by assessing the relative influence of climate, forest vertical structure, and phylogenetic relatedness on eumelanin‐ and pheomelanin‐based pigmentation. Location Global. Time Period Contemporary.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.We assess the population of snow leopards in the multi‐use region of Paddar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Alongside we also investigate local land uses and estimate snow leopard distribution across Jammu and Kashmir. This study adds to the evidence that big cats, especially snow leopards, need landscape‐level conservation strategies, rather than solely ...

Molecular characterization of adipose tissue in the African elephant (Loxodonta africana).
PLoS ONE, 2014 Adipose tissue (AT) is a dynamic and flexible organ with regulatory roles in physiological functions including metabolism, reproduction and inflammation; secreted adipokines, including leptin, and fatty acids facilitate many of these roles.

Utilization Patterns and Optimization Suggestions for Wildlife Passages in Xinjiang Nature Reserves
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.Linear infrastructure expansion poses a significant threat to biodiversity. We surveyed and monitored wildlife passages in eight Xinjiang nature reserves, assessing construction status, utilization patterns, and influencing factors. This study provides conservation strategies to improve wildlife passage construction and management, ensuring effective ...

野生动物学报, 1983 兔形目（Lagomorpha）字源来自希蜡文Lagoa-是兔子的意思,而-morpha是形状,Lagomorpha则是具有兔形的动物。我国古书的解释同样如此,如汉朝魏朗在《魏子》中即记有;“兔字篆文,象形”。即是像形文字,免字的形,也像兔子。但是,实际上,兔形目的外形并不均像兔子,全目分两个科:兔科（Leporidae）和鼠兔科（Ochotonidae）。兔科包括兔类（Hares）和穴兔（Rbbits）两大类群,确具兔形 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.We used the largest dataset of mitogenomes available to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and ancestral ranges and traits in spiders. ABSTRACT In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on a total of 255 spider mitogenomes and four outgroups, of which the mitogenomes of 39 species were assembled de novo, to explore the phylogenetic ...

Journal of Paleontology, 2009 The genus Prolagus is very common in the Neogene and Quaternary of Europe, western Asia and northern Africa. However, the complexity of its systematics, mainly based on p3 characters that show great inter- and intraspecific variability, led to an under-utilization of Prolagus in biochronology and palaeogeography studies. A re-analysis of the species of

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 282-298, May 2024.Abstract The taxonomic status and interspecies relationships of hares (genus Lepus) in Xinjiang, China, remain ambiguous owing to extremely similar external morphologies, introgressive hybridization between species and a lack of molecular genetic records. In this study, a total of 154 hare specimens were used to clarify their taxonomic status. Based on
