Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.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.

Female‐Biased Sexual Size Dimorphism and Its Potential Causes in Hairy‐Winged Bats
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Based on the integration of molecular genetics, traditional and geometric morphology, and acoustic characteristics of hairy‐winged bats (a species that was historically misclassified into two species due to extreme craniodental divergence between the sexes) in multiple regions of China, we quantified the sexual size dimorphism (SSD) between males and ...
