Ecological IndicatorsRecognizing the sensitivity of vegetation to precipitation is fundamental to monitoring and assessing ecosystem health and predicting ecosystem response to climate change. However, there is a lack of detailed, large-scale assessment of the sensitivity of

Linguistic Evidence Suggests that Xiōng‐nú and Huns Spoke the Same Paleo‐Siberian Language
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract The Xiōng‐nú were a tribal confederation who dominated Inner Asia from the third century BC to the second century AD. Xiōng‐nú descendants later constituted the ethnic core of the European Huns. It has been argued that the Xiōng‐nú spoke an Iranian, Turkic, Mongolic or Yeniseian language, but the linguistic affiliation of the Xiōng‐nú and the ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Assessing drivers of population dynamics helps to mitigate human–wildlife conflicts. In Mediterranean areas, summer aridity reduces resources, potentially affecting ungulates' body condition and reproduction. In a mixed forested‐rural area, wild boar female body mass increased throughout summer in rainy‐mild years and decreased in hot‐dry years.

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‐

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

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 ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The graphical abstract illustrates the comprehensive workflow of our study, from the deployment of infrared cameras at sites with high activity of four large carnivores, through data collection and assessment of activity patterns, to the prediction of time periods with potential human–large carnivore conflicts and the proposal of corresponding ...
