Unraveling Occurrence Patterns and Diversity of Avian Malaria Parasites in Iberian Obligate and Facultative Scavenger Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Uncoupled Histories in the Largest Continental Arc of North America: Goodeid Fishes and Their Gyrodactylid Parasites Influenced Differently by the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
• The Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) separates the Nearctic from the Neotropics. • TMVB's geology influenced diversification and distribution of endemic goodeid fishes. • Six neartic Gyrodactylus species infect goodeids within and north of the TMVB.

Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

Mapping diversity through geographical, environmental and attribute spaces

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding biodiversity patterns requires integrating information across the interrelated dimensions that organize life. Species occupy specific regions in geographic space, respond to environmental conditions and vary within attribute (or trait) spaces that are shaped by their ecological and evolutionary histories.
