- Thermal stability of pigment- and structurally based body coloration in a polymorphic lizard.
Romero-Diaz C, Font E, Pérez I de Lanuza G · Journal of thermal biology · 2025-08 · open access
Animal coloration plays a fundamental role in communication, camouflage, aposematism, mimicry and thermoregulation, and has strong implications for adaptation and diversification. Phenotypic plasticity of color traits can thus affect social, reproductive, antipredator, or thermoregulatory behavior…

- Fecal metabarcoding vs traditional invasive survey to access the diversity of anuran endoparasites and diet.
Dudczak A, Euclydes R, Razzolini E et al. · Parasitology · 2025-08 · open access
Identifying interactions between species is essential for understanding ecosystem dynamics. With their central position in trophic networks, anurans underscore the importance of studying their interactions with other organisms. Traditionally, collecting and describing anuran helminth parasites rely…

Spangenberg V, Arakelyan M, Simanovsky SA et al. · Biology of reproduction · 2025-08 · open access
Introduction Studies of reticulate evolution and parthenogenesis in reptiles over the past decades have revealed several important characteristics of the biology of this large and highly diverse taxonomic group. First, intensive interspecific hybridization occurs in reptiles, which can lead to the…
