Colour Morphs as Alternative Solutions to the Trade‐Off Predicted by the Immuno‐Competence Handicap Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we tested whether white and yellow morphs of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) adopt alternative strategies shaped by the immuno‐competence handicap hypotheses (ICHH). We found that testosterone‐induced immune suppression was stronger in white males, while aggression decreased in both morphs.

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

Active Yet Cautious: How Middle States Navigate Status in the Universal Periodic Review

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how states positioned in the middle of the international status hierarchy behave in the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR). While the UPR was established as a cooperative mechanism to move away from confrontational naming and shaming, in practice it has become a reputational arena where states strategically ...

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...
