Testing possible exposure routes of pesticides is essential for assessing the risks to pollinators. In Australia, the pesticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is widely used in mosquito control programs and applied aerially t...
Influence of Geomorphic Disturbance on Phenotypic Species Plasticity and Vegetation Cover in High-Elevated Belts [0.03%]
Sarah Kinzner,Katharina Ramskogler,Sophia Castlunger et al.
Sarah Kinzner et al.
The degradation of permafrost and the higher number of heavy rainfall events increase geomorphic disturbance (GMD), affecting the vegetation establishment in high-elevation belts. To evaluate the effect of GMDs on vegetation development, it...

Many animals form mixed-species groups. Interactions among individuals within a group often induce behavioral conformity, forming group-level characteristics. However, mixed-species groups are often studied with a focus on specific species,...
A Hybrid Machine Learning Framework to Improve Morphological Trait Recovery in Avian Datasets [0.03%]
Yu Bai,Pengfei Song,Shimin Wen et al.
Yu Bai et al.
Missing data in morphological trait datasets pose a persistent challenge to ecological and evolutionary research, frequently compromising model inference and predictive accuracy. We propose THORBFNN, a three-stage hybrid imputation framewor...
Genomic Divergence Between Octopus vulgaris and Its Undescribed Sister Species From the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean [0.03%]
Arsalan Emami-Khoyi,Gareth N Fee,Jannes Landschoff et al.
Arsalan Emami-Khoyi et al.
Molecular data are widely used to resolve complex phylogenetic relationships between cryptic species, particularly in cases where morphological features are insufficient to confirm taxonomic distinctness. For benthic shallow-water octopuses...
Investigating a Potential Bias in Resurrection Experiments to Measure Adaptive Evolution of Flowering Time [0.03%]
Sarah M Ravoth,Ariane Mooney,Emily J Austen et al.
Sarah M Ravoth et al.
Species persistence under climate change often depends on rapid evolutionary responses to increasingly extreme conditions. Resurrection experiments are a valuable approach for tracking the rate of adaptive evolution: ancestral propagules ar...
Niche Partitioning Promotes Coexistence: Habitat Suitability and Spatial Overlap of Three Sympatric Ungulates in a Subtropical Mountain Reserve [0.03%]
Jie Yao,Xueqin Hu,Jun Tian et al.
Jie Yao et al.
Understanding species-environment relationships and habitat overlap among sympatric ungulates is crucial for biodiversity conservation in mountainous ecosystems. Using a three-year camera-trap dataset (2021-2024) from Tongboshan National Na...

Yi-Lun Peng et al.
Understanding how geographic and climatic gradients shape genetic architecture is a central goal of evolutionary ecology. In Taiwan, mammals show varied divergence: low-mobility species such as mole-shrews and Formosan wood mice exhibit str...
Predicted Relative Occupancy Probability of Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Northeast Beijing Using Bayesian Occupancy Models [0.03%]
Keisuke Miyamoto,Xiaofeng Luan
Keisuke Miyamoto
Beijing has designated the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) as a protected species, and its protection status has been elevated to the national level in China. However, current knowledge of the species in Beijing is largely derived fr...
