Genetic Population Structure of the Italian Wall Lizards <i>Podarcis siculus</i> (Squamata: Lacertidae): Insight From Nuclear DNA Markers. [PDF]
Microsatellite analysis of 294 Podarcis siculus specimens from 121 localities revealed eight genetic clusters that partially align with previously identified mtDNA lineages. However, notable mito‐nuclear discordance was observe, particularly in Southern Italy and Sicily, where microsatellite data indicated different contact zones and less genetic ...

Estimating the 15th-Century Potential Habitats of Endangered Mammals on the Korean Peninsula: Implications for Restoration. [PDF]
We estimated the 15th‐century potential habitats of endangered mammals at the genus level on the Korean Peninsula with a historical document: big cats (Panthera spp.), including tigers and leopards, foxes (Vulpes spp.), bears (Ursus spp.), and gorals (Naemorhedus spp.).

Global Patterns of Niche Changes in Alien Mammals: Potential Drivers and Significance for Invasion Projections. [PDF]
Alien mammals largely retain their realized native climatic niche, yet often show incomplete colonization of receiving zoogeographic regions. Across 337 species‐by‐realm niche comparisons, niche expansion is generally low and concentrated in a few zoogeographic realms, whereas niche unfilling is widespread, indicating large pools of suitable yet ...

Geography of Life Histories in a Tropical Fauna: The Case of Indian Butterflies. [PDF]
The current study examines the butterfly species composition across India's 36 states and territories by utilising an updated checklist and ordination analyses. It incorporates life history traits to provide a deeper ecological understanding. Although India's butterfly fauna has been extensively researched, analyses based on trait composition are a ...

Urgent Conservation Actions Are Needed for Qinling Lenok <i>Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis</i> Li, 1966: Enlightenment From Model Simulations. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Qinling lenok Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis Li, 1966, an endemic to China and South Korea, is a rare protected species. Its unique requirements to habitat have made this fish extraordinarily fragile when faced with human pressures and global warming.

Genomic Insights and Matrilineal Evolution Reveal Potential Dispersal Patterns of Chitala Species (Osteoglossomorpha: Notopteridae) in the Sundaland Biodiversity Hotspot [PDF]
This study reports the first complete mitochondrial genome of Chitala borneensis and the re‐sequencing of Chitala lopis from Sundaland. Analyses of genetic structure, matrilineal phylogenies, and TimeTree‐based divergence estimates elucidate the evolutionary history and dispersal dynamics of extant Chitala species.
