Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Malayan pangolin populations have fallen to a critically endangered level, and illegal trafficking of wild pangolins is a global problem. Little is known about antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (MDRB) harbored by pangolins, although pangolins are frequently consumed as food or used in traditional medicine. In this study, we report for the first

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We provide an early description of the gut microbiome of wild, free‐ranging Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon data from 123 fecal samples collected across 6 months in two Sri Lankan national parks, we found that gut microbiome composition varied significantly by sampling month and, to a lesser extent, by park.
