The Dry‐Climate Hypothesis: Identifying the Environmental Drivers of Terrestrial Viviparous Salamanders

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The evolution of adaptive innovations carries strong eco‐evolutionary implications, allowing organisms to explore novel ecological opportunities, which facilitates lineage diversification. The remarkable diversity of reproductive strategies in amphibians provides a natural laboratory for identifying ecological mechanisms driving ...

A Fragile Stronghold: Genomics Reveal Angelshark Population Vulnerability in Corsica, a Key Mediterranean Refuge

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This first genomic insight into a key Mediterranean angelshark stronghold reveals an effective population size below critical conservation thresholds, high site fidelity, and multiple paternity. Despite evidence of active reproduction, ongoing bycatch remains a major threat, underscoring the urgent need for conservation actions. ABSTRACT Once common in

First captive breeding of a night skink (Scincidae: Eremiascincus) from Timor-Leste, Lesser Sunda Islands, with remarks on the reproductive biology of the genus [PDF]

, 2016
We report two instances of captive breeding in a species of Timorese night skink (genus Eremiascincus Greer, 1979) in October and December 2012. Four and three neonates, respectively, with total lengths of ca 40 mm each, were discovered during routine ...

Sexual Dimorphism, Female Reproductive Characteristics and Egg Incubation in an Oviparous Forest Skink (Sphenomorphus incognitus) from South China [PDF]

, 2018
We studied sexual dimorphism and female reproduction in an oviparous forest skink (Sphenomorphus incognitus) from South China. We incubated eggs under five thermal regimes (22, 25, 28, 25 ± 3 and 27 ± 5 °C) to examine the effects of constant versus ...
