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 ...

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies of Two Softshell Turtles with ZZ/ZW Provide Insights into TE‐Driven Recombination Suppression in Sex Chromosomes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

pylifemap: Mapping data onto the tree of life

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The need to visualize data associated with NCBI Taxonomy Identifiers is growing in various biological fields ranging from comparative genomics to metagenomics and metabarcoding, and even for outreach. No tool today allows visualization of such data while still keeping the full vision of the whole taxonomy, possibly causing a biased view of the

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Burrow Persistence and Spatial Distribution of Federally and State‐Protected Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Populations in Southwest Alabama

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...
