Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies of Two Softshell Turtles with ZZ/ZW Provide Insights into TE‐Driven Recombination Suppression in Sex Chromosomes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

adapt3: Adaptive dynamics and community projection in the R programming language

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecologists typically use matrix projection to understand population dynamics. Recently, they have applied matrix projection to analyse communities and evolutionary dynamics. Particularly, matrix community models (MCMs) provide a reductionist, demographic approach to the study of ecological interactions, while adaptive dynamics assess the ...

Trait coevolution and causal inference using generalized dynamic phylogenetic models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods are widely used to study trait coevolution across biological and cultural domains. The most common methods are phylogenetic generalized linear (mixed) models, phylogenetic path analysis, Pagel's ‘discrete’ method and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models. While some frameworks like generalized linear mixed models are quite

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

What Is Space Bioethics?

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.
