Cutaneous shedding in amphibians causes shifts in bacterial microbiomes
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Trends of bacterial load and diversity on cane toad skin suggest that regular shedding events reduce bacterial abundance, consequently also reducing richness and causing a shift in community structure. After reductions due to shedding, bacteria regrow and recolonize until the next shed days later, suggesting that skin communities are constantly in flux,

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Insight Into Body Size Evolution in Aves: Based on Some Body Size–Related Genes
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.These findings provide new insights into the genetic determinants of body size evolutionary mechanisms in Aves. ABSTRACT Birds exhibit remarkable variations in body size, making them an ideal group for the study of adaptive evolution. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying body size evolution in avian species remain inadequately understood.

Sperm Transfer Under Behavioral and Morphological Constraints in the Orb‐Web Spider Genus Argiope
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The polygamous mating system of the orb‐web spider genus Argiope provides a model to study the evolution of sperm transfer under morphological and behavioral constraints. This helps us to understand how male and female behavioral and morphological reproductive traits influence sperm transfer.
