From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Reusing Geospatial Data of Invasive Alien Insect Species From the Literature: Significance, Challenges, and Potential

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We use bibliometric analysis to evaluate geospatial data reuse for invasive alien insect species (IAIS). Of 1032 relevant publications, 51.0% lacked downloadable raw data. Integrating cross‐regional, temporal, and multi‐species data could address single‐study limitations, but data scarcity remains a barrier.

Parasites at the Summit: Unexpected Geographic Distribution of the Blood Parasite Lineage Found in the Endangered Giant Lizard of Tenerife

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Life Under the Snow: Camera Trap Videos Capture Year‐Round Lemming Activity and Behavior

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We developed an automated camera system capable of recording year‐round videos of lemmings beneath the snow in the High Arctic. We demonstrate the potential of this system to document lemming activity and behaviors. Our results show that it effectively monitors lemming relative abundance with temporal precision unmatched by other methods.

A Lightweight Deep Neural Network for Individual Leopard Identification: Supporting Movement Ecology in the Taihang Mountains of Henan

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We developed LeoNet, a lightweight deep learning model for leopard individual identification. It achieved 97.42% accuracy and was robust to age‐related pattern changes and unfamiliar individuals. Applied to camera‐trap data from the Taihang Mountains, LeoNet identified 41 wild North China leopards and generated individual‐level records to support ...

Urban Environments Impact Parasite Diversity and an Antipredator Response in an Amphibian Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urbanization reshapes parasite–host interactions in the amphibian Pelophylax perezi, increasing blood parasite diversity and Lankesterella loads under higher anthropogenic pressure. Urban frogs also show longer flight initiation distances and tibiofibulae, indicating altered antipredator strategies.

Behavior‐Based Rodent Management: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Opportunities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Management of rodent pests often relies upon their decisions about whether or not to interact with management tools such as baits and traps. These decisions are shaped by behavioral motivations that can vary with environmental context, over time, and between individuals, which provide both challenges and opportunities for control.
