Microbial, dietary insect, and pathogen communities in fresh and decomposing guano of anthropic little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) maternity colonies

Jagger Defenza, Laurel Eddins, Ashton Gauvin, Donal J Heaney et autres

ABSTRACT The guano of insectivorous bats holds ecological information that can be assessed non-invasively to characterize the gut microbiome and diet, alongside environmental microbes and pathogens of conservation concern. Despite this potential, how guano communities change during decomposition remains understudied, particularly inside …

DISTRIBUTION, NATURAL HISTORY, AND CONSERVATION STATUS OF THE RELICTUAL SLENDER SALAMANDER (BATRACHOSEPS RELICTUS)

Robert W. Hansen, Nicholas R Van Gilder, Elizabeth L. Jockusch

The salamander species Batrachoseps relictus (Relictual Slender Salamander) is a candidate for listing as federally endangered. When initially described, this species was thought to be wide-ranging, occurring along both the coast and in the Sierra Nevada of California. However, molecular data revealed …

Genomic discordance throws a wrench in the parallel speciation hypothesis for scincid lizards

Jonathan Q. Richmond, Andrew D. Gottscho, Elizabeth L. Jockusch, Adam D. Leaché et autres

Parallel evolution of the same reproductive isolation barrier within a taxon is an indicator of ecology's role in speciation (i.e., parallel speciation), yet spatiotemporal variability in the efficacy of the barrier can present challenges to retracing how it evolved. Here, we revisit …

Unveiling the Genetic Blueprint of a Desert Scorpion: A Chromosome-level Genome of Hadrurus arizonensis Provides the First Reference for Parvorder Iurida

Meridia Jane Bryant, Asher M. Coello, Adam M. Glendening, Samuel A. Hilliman et autres

Over 400 million years old, scorpions represent an ancient group of arachnids and one of the first animals to adapt to life on land. Presently, the lack of available genomes within scorpions hinders research on their evolution. This study leverages ultralong nanopore …

Paralog switching facilitates euryhalinity: Ontogenetic, microevolutionary and macroevolutionary evidence

Rebecca Smith Colby, SD McCormick, Jonathan P. Velotta, Elizabeth L. Jockusch et autres

Euryhalinity is present in diverse aquatic taxa and requires flexible osmoregulation to field the challenges posed by differing salinities. Na + , K + -ATPase (NKA) is a ubiquitous ion pump in the gills of fishes and, for some species, paralogs of …

An experimental test of Lanchester's models of combat in the neotropical termite Nasutitermes corniger (Blattodea: Termitidae)

Elizabeth M. Clifton, Paul O. Lewis, Elizabeth L. Jockusch, Eldridge S. Adams

Lanchester's models of combat have been invoked to explain the mechanics of group fighting in social animals. Specifically, Lanchester's square law posits that the fighting ability of the group is proportional to the square of the number of combatants. Although used to …

FIRST RECORD OF A SLENDER SALAMANDER (GENUS BATRACHOSEPS) INTRODUCED TO WASHINGTON STATE AND MOLECULAR SOURCE IDENTIFICATION FROM SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Oliver Freni, Joseph Freni, Christopher D. Anderson, Lisa A. Hallock et autres

Human activities are increasingly responsible for moving organisms far beyond natural dispersal distances and range boundaries. Here we describe the 1st documented instance of a slender salamander (genus Batrachoseps; B. attenuatus specifically) in Washington State, in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland. We …
