Environmental Factors and Co‐Occurrence Patterns Influence Dorsal Brightness in Two Jumping Mice Species in the Western United States

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We examined how dorsal coloration varies in the endangered New Mexico jumping mouse (Zapus luteus) and its close relative, the western jumping mouse (Z. princeps) in relation to environmental variables and co‐occurence patterns using standardized photographs of museum specimens.

Nutritional effects on the expression of cryptic pigmentation in freshwater isopods

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Cryptic pigmentation is a key phenotypic adaptation that helps many benthic invertebrates evade visual predators. However, little is known about whether and how the expression of pigmentation phenotypes that match the habitat background is influenced by the availability of nutritional resources.

Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy from recurrence times

open access: yes, 2009
Observing how long a dynamical system takes to return to some state is one of the most simple ways to model and quantify its dynamics from data series. This work proposes two formulas to estimate the KS entropy and a lower bound of it, a sort of Shannon ...

Winter fruit contribution to the performance of the invasive fruit fly Drosophila suzukii under different thermal regimes

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 377-395, February 2026.
Highlights: The contribution of winter and early spring‐available fruit (Aucuba japonica, Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla, and Viscum album) to the performance of D. suzukii depended on their P:C ratio and biophysical properties Even though D. suzukii performance was the lowest in A.

Complex Network Approach for Recurrence Analysis of Time Series

open access: yes, 2009
We propose a novel approach for analysing time series using complex network theory. We identify the recurrence matrix calculated from time series with the adjacency matrix of a complex network, and apply measures for the characterisation of complex ...

Environmental drivers of scale morphology in a Canary Island lizard across 3700 m of elevation

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 4, Page 398-409, December 2025.
Gallotia galloti scale traits are driven by climate and human pressures. High dorsal density correlates with hotter, dryer environments and larger scales with higher sun exposure, while ventral scale variation was associated with isothermality and human influences. These changes highlight morphological responses to environmental conditions.

How a Melanism Mutant Responds to Different Temperatures: A Case Study in Ladybird Beetle Harmonia axyridis Demonstrating Thermal‐Induced Phenotypic Plasticity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
ml, inherited in a Mendelian autosomal recessive manner, is a novel melanism mutant of Harmonia axyridis. When compared to wt, ml exhibited vastly smaller changes in the occurrence frequencies of dark spots on both the dorsal cuticles of pupa and elytra in response to thermal variations. ml had very high melanin level even at 32.5°C and showed a higher

Functional and phylogenetic beta diversity response of nocturnal moth assemblages to land‐use intensity in grasslands and forests

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Land‐use intensification is filtering for species, able to cope with anthropogenic landscapes. This was assumed to result in functionally and phylogenetically homogenous communities, but a recent meta‐analysis could not confirm a consistent homogenization response to human pressure and raises open questions.
