Sex‐Specific Involvement of Gut Microbiota in Behavioral and Endocrine Responses to Chronic Predator Odor in Brandt's Voles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
18 days of predator odor exposure altered gut microbiota, increased anxiety‐like behaviors, and elevated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in Brandt's voles, with males showing behavioral habituation and females remaining sensitive. Cecal microbiota transplantation experiments confirmed that only female recipients of microbiota from predator‐

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

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 ...
