For wild ungulates and their predators, livestock grazing is an important anthropogenic disturbance causing population declines and modifying their interactions over time and space. However, it is poorly understood how fine-scale grazing affects the spatiotemporal responses of predators, prey, and their interactions. Two opposing hypotheses describe a dichotomy of possible effects. The human shield hypothesis states that people can protect prey because predators avoid areas with high human-induced mortality risk, whereas in the human competitor hypothesis, humans compete for prey and negatively impact predators through reduced prey availability. We used camera-trapping data from the Gansu Qilianshan National Nature Reserve in Northwest China to measure occupancy, daily activity patterns, and spatiotemporal interactions between snow leopards (Panthera uncia), the dominant predator, and their ungulate prey in areas with contrasting grazing intensities. The results of grazing were consistent with both the human-shield and human-competitor hypotheses, affecting spatiotemporal patterns and interactions of predators and prey. For the primary prey species, blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur), their spatial and temporal patterns were affected by grazing, which led to a reduction in interaction frequencies with snow leopards. For secondary prey, grazing led to reduced interaction frequencies with snow leopards for white-lipped deer (Przewalskium albirostris) and red deer (Cervus yarkandensis), but increased frequencies for alpine musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster). Our results indicate how both competition among livestock and prey and predator or prey avoidance of grazed areas can impact populations and predator-prey interactions. Our findings are relevant to grazing management and snow leopard conservation.</p>","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142835621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to anthropogenetic factors such as water pollution, overfishing, and dam construction, the wild populations of C. guichenoti have dramatically declined in recent decades. In this study, we generated a reference chromosomal-level genome assembly of C. guichenoti on the basis of PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding technologies. The final genome assembly was 1.10 Gb in length (contig N50: 28.64 Mb; scaffold N50: 42.39 Mb) with 25 chromosomes. The completeness score of the C. guichenoti genome was 96.4%, and high synteny was detected compared with Danio rerio and Ictalurus punctatus genomes. A total of 24 325 PCGs were annotated for the C. guichenoti genome. Comparative genomics analysis identified 986 expanded gene families in C. guichenoti, which were significantly enriched in GO items associated with the development and interaction of sperm and egg as well as immunity. Furthermore, positively selected genes (PSGs) detected in C. guichenoti were mainly associated with DNA repair, ATP binding, mitochondrion, and lipid homeostasis. Based on the reference genome and resequencing data, the polymorphic microsatellite (SSR) loci were comprehensively analyzed for C. guichenoti, and the top 15 tetra-nucleotide SSR loci were selected for the construction of the genetic maker system after validation through PCR and genotyping. All of these 15 tetra-nucleotide SSR loci without Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) deviation showed high polymorphism, good amplification stability, and selective neutrality. The PID (sibs) curves revealed that the subset of four tetra-nucleotide SSR loci (cgui1, cgui5, cgui3, cgui13) was sufficient for accurate identification of C. guichenoti individuals (PIDsib < 0.01). These 15 tetra-nucleotide SSR loci could also serve as genetic markers in subsequent parentage identification and genetic diversity analysis.

With the objective to assess the influence of different population removal pressures on the finite population growth rate (𝝀) of an invasive mammal, this research used demographic data estimated from 922 invasive beavers (Castor canadensis) eradicated from seven areas from Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Areas were classified into four removal pressures: higher, high-intermediate, low-intermediate, and lower removal pressure. The hypothesis states that the higher removal pressure produces higher population growth and resilience. Leslie matrix models were used to estimate 𝝀, generation time, damping ratio, stable age distribution, reproductive value, and the sensitivity-elasticity of survivorship and fertility of the females for each removal pressure. The 𝝀 and damping ratio increased with the removal pressure, as expected; the inverse occurred with the generation time. The survivorship of the younger age classes was the most sensitive and elastic vital rate regardless of removal pressure, followed by the breeding onset. The fertility was less relevant on 𝝀. The beaver population would depend more on the survival of kits, 1-year-olds, and subadults, than the number of offspring produced.

The multivariate approach showed that all contextual factors influenced sounds' structure, with whistles being strongly affected by behaviour and calves' presence. The GLMM models highlighted that each acoustic parameter varied differently in response to specific factors, with (1) increasing trends in whistles' duration and inflection points during interaction with fishery and decreasing ones during socializing, and (2) decreasing inter-click-intervals and increasing click-repetition-rates in larger groups and during interactions with fishery.

A total of 160 BP nests were monitored during 4 years (2017, 2018, 2021, and 2022) in eight Moroccan agricultural zones. We used the generalized linear mixed models and variation partitioning methods to quantify the effects of AL and HI on BP nest occurrence. This occurrence increased with track density (within 300 m of sampled nests) and decreased with built-up area cover (50 m). Nest occurrence was also associated with the cover of agricultural areas (300 m), distances to the nearest agricultural area, the nearest human settlement, and the nearest track. However, the effect of these covariates depended on distance to the nearest paved road, being close to roads located far away from agricultural areas and tracks and near human settlements and tracks. Overall, our results highlighted a trend to nest close to HI when agricultural areas were relatively remote or less represented. For the effective conservation and management of the Moroccan BP populations, it is critical to keep human infrastructures at a level that allows for maintaining the relative dominance of the agricultural landscape.

We investigated the influence of salinity stress on the composition of the gut microbiota in T. s. elegans to determine whether it regulates SSC self-renewal and differentiation via the gut-brain-gonad axis. Three salinity groups (0‰, 5‰, and 10‰) were used in this study, and samples were obtained after 6 months of feeding. The mRNA expression of self-renewing genes (GFRα-1, RAS, and ERK) and meiotic initiation genes (RARα, NRG3, and ERBB4) in SSCs decreased with increasing salinity, indicating that salinity affects renewal and differentiation. In addition, harmful bacteria such as Enterococcus and Clostridium were increased in the S10 group, and lower levels of g_norank_f_Eubacteriaceae were negatively associated with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), whereas higher Turicibacter levels were positively associated with GABA levels, resulting in increased GABA content in the S5 group. The results show that salinity affects the secretion of neurotransmitters in the brain and negatively regulates the synthesis of reproductive hormones by changing the composition of intestinal microorganisms and metabolites, which affect SSC function.

Furthermore, the IGFBP7 and PLXDC2 genes demonstrated accelerated evolution in large- and medium-sized birds, respectively, indicating distinct evolutionary patterns for these genes among birds of different sizes. The branch-site model analysis identified numerous positively selected sites, primarily concentrated near functional domains, thereby reinforcing the critical role of these genes in body size evolution.

We assembled a high-quality genome for Tibetan N. pleskei and compared it to the genomes of N. parkeri and their lowland relatives. Our findings reveal that these two Tibetan frog species diverged approximately 16.6 million years ago, pointing to a possible ancestral colonization of high-elevation habitats. Following this colonization, significant adaptive evolution occurred in both coding and non-coding regions of the ancestral lineage. This evolution led to notable phenotypic alterations, as evidenced by the reduced body size. Also, due to purifying selection, most ancestral adaptive features persisted in descendant species, indicating a strong element of evolutionary conservatism. However, descendant species evolved novel adaptations to exacerbated environmental challenges in the Tibet Plateau, mainly related to hypoxia response. Furthermore, our analysis underscores the critical role of regulatory variations in descendant adaptive evolution. Notably, hub genes in networks, such as EGLN3, accumulated more variations in regulatory regions as they were transmitted from ancestors to descendants.

In addition, except for tail length in two species and both hind-foot and ear length in one species, absolute appendage lengths scaled allometrically with body length.
