Amphibian populations worldwide are severely threatened, in part, by the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). While Bd has driven many amphibian declines and extinctions, its impact varies, with some populations exhibiting resistance or tolerance. Understanding the mechanisms…

- Threatened endemic arthropods and vertebrates partition their diets with non-native ants in an isolated island ecosystem.
Tercel MPTG, Cuff JP, Symondson WOC et al. · Ecology · 2025-07 · open access
INTRODUCTION A fundamental question in invasion ecology is how non‐native species fit into native biological communities (Lodge, ). Non‐native species may mechanistically fit into a community outside of their native range as predators, competitors, mutualists, parasites, or prey. When a non‐native…

Péricard L, Le Mével S, Marquis O et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2025-07 · open access
The significant decline in amphibians worldwide is demanding the development of reliable techniques to save species and their genetic diversity. Considerable efforts are currently in progress to develop assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), focusing mainly on sperm cryopreservation and in…

Alejandro Maeda Obregon, Elizabeth L. Clare, Luís Zambrano et al. · Environmental DNA · 2025-07 · open access
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are globally threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species, all of which are particularly acute in urban areas. To assess the impacts of urbanization on freshwater biodiversity—specifically the effects of alien species on native primary aquatic…

Hu X, Zhu S, Chen Y et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2025-06 · open access
1. Introduction Imidacloprid (IMI), which is a neonicotinoid insecticide (NEO), is widely detected in aquatic environments due to its high water solubility and persistence. High concentrations of imidacloprid have been reported in agricultural areas (e.g., 294 μg L −1 in Australia and 320 μg L −1…

- Nest Site Selection and Nesting Behavior of Reeves' Turtle ( Mauremys reevesii ) in Qichun County, Hubei Province, China.
Ye Z, Bu R, Shi HT · Ecology and evolution · 2025-06 · open access
Research on nest site selection and nesting behavior is essential for species conservation. Research on the reproductive ecology of Reeves' turtles is relatively scarce. Therefore, from April to September 2022, we conducted a study in Qichun County, China, on the field nest site selection of 11…

- Evidence of mood states in reptiles.
Hoehfurtner T, Wilkinson A, Moszuti SA et al. · Animal cognition · 2025-06 · open access
There is increasing evidence that non-human animals experience 'free-floating' mood states, but such evidence is lacking in reptiles, hindering the debate as to their affective capacity and with subsequent implications for welfare. Here, we investigated the presence of a mood state in a species of…
