Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

One number to rule them all: The Wildlife Sperm Index for standardized gamete assessment
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract In wildlife conservation, breeding programmes focused on reintroduction are critical to recovering endangered species. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and biobanking play pivotal roles in these efforts but depend on high‐quality gametes.

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...
