The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

Early‐Life Telomere Length Negatively Covaries With Brood Size and Father Age, and Predicts Long‐Term Survival in Male Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In barn swallows, nestlings raised in larger broods or by older social fathers have shorter telomeres, and those with longer telomeres tend to live longer, suggesting that early‐life conditions may shape individual lifespan through telomere dynamics. ABSTRACT Parental decisions on breeding, such as brood size and timing of reproduction, influence the ...

After All, Size Does Matter: Size and Trachemys Scripta Reproduction Traits at the Western Limit of Its European Distribution

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
‐ Female T. scripta exhibit a clear size‐dependent reproductive investment, where larger plastron length is positively associated with all key reproductive traits. ‐ Female T. scripta reach sexual maturity at a plastron length of approximately 15–18 cm. ABSTRACT In invasive species, reproductive success may determine invasion outcomes and influence the

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...

From fluke to fragment: A multifaceted method for molecular sex identification and mitochondrial haplotyping from environmental DNA samples

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have become a powerful tool for non‐invasive biodiversity monitoring, yet the applicability of population‐genetic approaches to environmental samples remains largely unexplored. Even when genetic traces originate from a single individual, low target DNA concentrations and amplification or sequencing artefacts ...

Tipping the Scales Using Cryopreservation: Modelling the Genetic Value and Management Potential of Integrated Cryopreservation for Threatened Ex‐Situ Pupfish Populations

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract depicts the number of additional fish that would be required to achieve 90% genetic diversity for endangered pupfish species housed in EAZA collections, with or without the use of cryopreserved material. ABSTRACT Zoos and aquaria must retain genetic diversity for the species they house if the populations are to remain viable ...
