Multilocus Phylogeny of Asiatic Striped Squirrels (Sciuridae, <i>Tamiops</i>) Reveals Their Evolutionary Relationships and Species Limits. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe genus Tamiops has long been underestimated in terms of species diversity due to reliance on seasonal fur coloration. This study integrates mitochondrial whole‐genome and nuclear gene data to identify seven monophyletic lineages, elevating T. maritimus hainanus to independent species status.

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis 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 ...
