Climate Change Effects on the Only Western Palearctic Plethodontids: Range Changes and Possible Depletion of Intraspecific Genetic Diversity

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 686-698, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Amphibians are particularly sensitive to rapid climatic shifts, due to their eco‐physiology, life history traits and high frequency of narrowly distributed species. The genus Speleomantes encompasses the only extant Western Palearctic plethodontids, with three species occurring in peninsular Italy and the remaining five endemic to Sardinia

Molecular Insights Into the Sensory Adaption of the Cave‐Dwelling Leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis to the Karst Cave Environment

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
We conducted a transcriptome analysis on the cave‐dwelling land leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis. Piezos, TRPs, and iGluRs may have roles in mechanosensory and chemosensory systems of this leech. Similar gene expression profiles in winter and summer samples imply a stable physiological status of S.

Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Mites are abundant invertebrates in underground ecosystems, influenced by resource and environmental diversity, but the diversity of cave mites remains unclear. Through a survey of soil mites in three typical areas of light intensity in caves and their adjacent environments outside the caves, we found that although there are significant differences in ...
