Amphibian‐Derived Peptide OA‐AL14 Alleviates UVB‐Induced Skin Photoaging via Autophagy Activation Mediated by the AMPK/mTOR Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates that the amphibian‐derived peptide OA‐AL14 protects against UVB‐induced skin photoaging through a dual mechanism: activating the Nrf2 pathway to counteract oxidative stress and modulating the AMPK/mTOR axis to induce protective autophagy. ABSTRACT Skin photoaging, primarily driven by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, is a

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

Ecology and Brain Size Drive Feeding Innovations in Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Larger‐brained birds exhibit higher feeding innovation rates, but ecological factors shape different forms of innovation in distinct ways. Across 955 bird species, phylogenetic path analyses revealed that migration type and feeding strategy mediate the effects of brain size and climate on feeding innovations, illustrating how cognition and ecology ...

Genomic Diversity of the Endangered Guinan Toad‐Headed Lizard and Its Conservation Implications

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We produced HiFi long reads and assembled a high‐quality genome for the Guinan toad‐headed lizard—Phrynocephalus guinanensis—and present a comprehensive conservation genomics assessment. Our findings clearly show population structure, a reduced genetic diversity pattern, and a strong bottleneck in demographic history, reaffirming the endangered status ...

Spatial Patterns and Associated Factors of Intestinal Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Farmed Bullfrogs From Selected Farms Across Major Production Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Across selected bullfrog farms in major Chinese production regions, 106 intestinal ARG subtypes were detected, with tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance genes predominating and clear farm‐level variation. High‐risk ARGs, including ermB, floR, and qnrA, were associated with heavy metals, MGEs, and opportunistic pathogens. These findings highlight the
