Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders
We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

Early‐life traits significantly influence sexual segregation patterns and phenotypic quality in male fallow deer. Males in better condition and those more risk‐prone left natal groups earlier with fewer returns to natal groups. However, males with frequent excursions back to natal groups compensated for initial body condition disadvantages.

The Wonder Years: A Demographic Approach to Revisit the Age‐at‐Size Conundrum in Amphibians
We combined repeated body size measurements of marked individuals of unknown age throughout their adult life with growth records of individuals marked as postmetamorphic juveniles and recaptured years later as sexually mature adults, focusing on 10 amphibian species in central Spain.

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest
In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of integrating PAM with BirdNET, a convolutional neural network originally developed for avian vocalization detection, to monitor two critically endangered lemurs, Indri indri and Varecia variegata, in Madagascar's Maromizaha rainforest.

Growth and Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama L.) From Two Contrasting Habitats in Southern Britain
ABSTRACT We have compiled a unique data set on the age, sex, body weight and dimensions of over 500 European fallow deer from two contrasting areas of habitat in southern England: a high‐density managed parkland population and a lower‐density feral woodland one.
