Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), vectors of Lyme disease, have expanded across the Midwestern USA since the 1970s, with at least three genetically structured populations. Fine‐scale genomic and landscape analyses reveal distinct gene flow corridors and barriers, highlighting how environmental connectivity shapes tick range expansion and informing

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 3037-3080, October 2025.Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Physiological and Behavioural Strategies of Bats From Arid Environments
Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 4, October 2025.Deserts are characterized by high ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation and low water availability. Desert bats are smaller, have lower energy expenditures, lower water losses, higher wing aspect ratios and lower wing loadings than bats living in mesic environments.

Why Are There So Few Insect Predators of Nuts of American Beech \u3ci\u3e(Fagus Grandifolia)?\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
, 2018 American beech, Fagus grandifolia Ehrh., is a common nut-bearing tree of eastern North America. Compared to other North American nut-bearing tree species of comparable geographic range, the nut-infesting insect fauna of American beech is species-poor ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 19, October 2025.ABSTRACT Many species are currently experiencing range shifts in response to changing environmental conditions with potentially serious genetic consequences. Repeated founder events and strong genetic drift are expected to erode genetic variation at the range front, reducing adaptive potential and slowing or even halting the expansion.

Insects Associated with Michigan Bumblebees (\u3ci\u3eBombus\u3c/i\u3e Spp.) [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) Studies of insect associates of bumblebees are not new. For example, Tuck (1896, 1897) reported over 50 species of insects associated with nests of British bumblebees. Sladen (1912) discussed nest associates and parasites of European bumblebees,

Timing as a sexually selected trait: the right mate at the right moment [PDF]
, 2017 Sexual selection favours the expression of traits in one sex that attract members of the opposite sex for mating. The nature of sexually selected traits such as vocalization, colour and ornamentation, their fitness benefits as well as their costs have ...
