Mangan MJ, McCallum HI, West M et al. · Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America · 2025-01 · open access
Pathogens that infect multiple host species have an increased capacity to cause extinctions through parasite-mediated apparent competition. Given unprecedented and continuing losses of biodiversity due to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the causative fungus of the amphibian skin disease…

- Establishing a baseline: insights gained from studying a large population of a threatened species
Damien I. Mullin, Graham J. Forbes, Christopher B. Edge · Canadian Journal of Zoology · 2025-01 · open access
Data on threatened species are understandably biased as we prioritize researching populations undergoing declines rather than the few remaining stable populations. This prioritization bias reduces the availability of demographic benchmarks, resulting in continually shifting baselines and can result…

- Lost paradise-anthropogenic pressure alters microbial functional diversity in an endangered endemic toad-habitat system.
Kok PJR, Urbaniak M · ISME communications · 2025-01 · open access
Tourism-driven human activity is increasingly disrupting fragile and once-pristine ecosystems worldwide, as evidenced by coral reef degradation in the Great Barrier Reef, vegetation loss in the Himalayas, and, as demonstrated in this study, microbial shifts in isolated highland habitats such as…

- Colour Pattern Variation and the Ecological Significance of Melanism in an Insular Mediterranean Population of Testudo hermanni
Marta Salom Oliver, Silvia Tejada, Samuel Pinya · International Journal of Zoology · 2025-01 · open access
Colour pattern polymorphisms are widespread in reptiles and may have important ecological and evolutionary implications. This study confirms the presence of colour pattern polymorphisms in Testudo hermanni populations from Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain), with a particular concentration of…
