Insects like cicadas, which survive belowground during fire and logging, are exposed to hostile conditions due to increased predation and limited resources when they emerge as adults. This study investigates the combined effects of wildfire and post-fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of the cicada Lyristes plebejus in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 individuals were captured, tagged, and released across six plots in three disturbance contexts: burnt and logged, burnt and unlogged, and unburnt. Using radio telemetry, we tracked their movements and compared home range size and survival across these contexts. Results show that cicadas in burnt but unlogged areas were more mobile and tended to select areas of lower fire severity compared to those in burnt and logged areas. Salvage logging removed essential fire refuges, increasing exposure to predators. Although no significant differences in total distance covered were found, cicadas in burnt and logged areas displayed lower movement rates, indicating a reduced ability to explore and select suitable habitats. These findings highlight the importance of considering both wildfire and post-fire management practices in conservation. Salvage logging exacerbates the negative effects of fire, emphasizing the need to preserve biological legacies and fire refuges to promote ecosystem resilience. The study suggests that careful forest management is crucial for protecting biodiversity, particularly for species like cicadas that depend on both above and below-ground habitats.","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143718677","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}

In these environments, synanthropic species such as pigeons (Columba livia) exhibit coloration polymorphisms under endocrine regulation mediated by the melanocortin system, which determines several immunological traits. Due to these potential sources of variability, we assessed how habitat influences physiological traits related to immunological features, theoretically affected by feather coloration, while considering other factors such as seasonality, body mass, and sex. This study aimed to determine whether pigeons from locations with different urban temperatures (Santiago, Chile) and color polymorphism exhibited variability in plasma immunoglobulin Y concentration, leukocyte profiles, and the H/L index. The results demonstrate that pigeons exhibit variations in immunological features related to the thermal characteristics of their urban habitats. Specifically, we observed a strong effect of thermal heterogeneity on the H/L ratio, with higher values in areas experiencing warmer temperatures, a relationship dependent on body mass. We also identified differential impacts of seasonality and sex on basophil and monocyte percentages. Regarding humoral immunity, we found a strong effect of environmental temperature and plumage melanism on urban pigeons which was influenced by sex. Our findings contribute to understanding the factors affecting the immune system in urban birds and provide valuable insights into their response to landscape modifications.","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143718679","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}

Hypoxia-induced disruptions in glucose metabolism can be fatal to many animals. However, there is currently limited research on the energy metabolism of species that inhabit environments with intermittently low oxygen levels. In this study, we investigated the gluconeogenic metabolic response patterns of adult Lasiopodomys brandtii (Brandt's vole) and Mus musculus (Kunming mice) under hypoxia (10% O2, 12 h), followed by 1 h reoxygenation period. Our results indicated that, unlike M. musculus, L. brandtii did not accumulate lactate after hypoxia treatment. This suggests that L. brandtii may deal with lactate accumulation caused by oxygen deficiency during hypoxia through the PGC-1α regulated gluconeogenesis pathway of the liver, which can restore the level of anaerobic glycolytic products in the liver and blood caused by hypoxia relatively quickly and ensure the stable survival of the organism in a hypoxic environment. Intriguingly, L. brandtii also did not exhibit O2 debt repayment after short-time reoxygenation. Our study revealed that liver PGC-1α regulating gluconeogenic metabolism in L. brandtii plays an important role in the maintenance of internal homeostasis of body acid-base balance under hypoxic environments, presenting a potential mechanism for the improvement of hypoxia tolerance in L. brandtii.","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143523350","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}

Non-motile, encapsulated sperm cells must navigate through narrow male and female ducts during short (only seconds) copulations, all while under the pressure of female aggression, which can include sexual cannibalism and genital damage. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of male and female internal genital morphology on sperm transfer. In this study, we quantify the number of sperm transferred by males in five species of the genus Argiope as a direct measure of reproductive success. We explore sperm transfer in relation to copulation duration, sperm availability, sexual dimorphism, and female aggression. Additionally, we compare intra- and interspecific variation in sperm transfer by examining internal male and female genital morphological traits. Finally, we discuss the allometry of internal genital morphology in terms of sperm transfer in spiders. Our findings indicate that the occurrence of sexual cannibalism is the significant factor impacting sperm transfer in the genus Argiope. We observed a positive, albeit non-significant, correlation between sperm duct width and sperm transfer. Nonetheless, interspecific variability in allometry and methodological challenges underscore the need for continued research to fully understand the complexities of internal genital evolution in spiders.","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143432950","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}

Although tri-axial accelerometers are invaluable for behavioral analyses, their use is more frequent in large charismatic endotherms with limited application in ectotherms. The scarce utilization of this methodology on small-size reptiles is focused on animals' activity and energetics, showing few records of rapid displays and behavior signals. Here, we present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles' behavior. Our proposed approach uses advanced technologies for the digitization, reconstruction and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri-axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground-truth data through the video records; (iii) develop realistically accurate 3D avatars of the recorded movement for visualization purposes, and (iv) archive data on a Behavior Pattern Database. As case studies, we used two small Mediterranean reptiles, the lizard Laudakia cypriaca and the snake Dolichophis jugularis. Through our approach, we successfully recorded, ground-truthed, and labeled for the first time, several detailed movements and behaviors of the two case study species. We developed an accurate digital overview of those movements using motion capture and 3D animal reconstruction. Finally, we structured a database for archiving all behavioral data and demonstrated how those archives can be used for advancing behavioral research, providing ecological insights into this animal group. Our approach can enhance research on reptiles' behavior by contributing to the analysis of complex or isolated behaviors, poorly studied, such as signals and social interactions, providing valuable insights and assisting behavioral analysis.","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143432983","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}

Understanding their evolutionary dynamics in birds is essential for elucidating avian physiology and adaptation. However, the choice of gene detection method in gene family analysis may affect the conclusion. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation of methodologies and GLUT gene loss events in avian lineages, focusing on the loss of GLUT4 and GLUT8. To illustrate the effects of these methods, we first employed BUSCO-based homolog identification, calculated pairwise evolutionary distances between different species, and performed separate blastn and blastp searches to identify homologs in two groups of animals. Our analyses revealed a significant decline in blastn accuracy with increasing evolutionary distance, represented by relative divergence times. Through a more robust blastp-based gene detection pipeline, we provide evidence for the loss of GLUT genes in birds based on 58 vertebrate genomes, including 47 bird species. Our results support the reported early loss of GLUT4 in Aves. We also newly emphasize the absence of GLUT8 in passerines, potentially due to adaptation to high-sugar diets in their ancestors. These findings enhance our knowledge of avian metabolism and the evolution of GLUT genes.","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143407319","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}

However, it remains unclear whether the isthmi pars magnocellularis (Imc), the first site in the midbrain network representing stimulus selection, can represent stimulus salience and what is the mechanism by which the midbrain network computes salience. Here, two separate translational motion stimuli were adopted as principal stimulation protocols, and in vivo electrophysiological experiments were performed in pigeons' Imc. By combining bio-plausible model validation, we found two types of inhibitory surrounds of the Imc neuron receptive field, namely homologous inhibitory surrounds (HIS) and non-homologous inhibitory surrounds (non-HIS), and we expounded the mechanisms of their emergence. HIS is local and dependent on stimulus feature similarity for computing stimulus saliency, whereas non-HIS is global and independent of stimulus feature similarity for computing stimulus selection. Furthermore, the superimposition of HIS and non-HIS modulates the neural responses in Imc. The two identified inhibitory surrounds of Imc in this study more precisely explicate the entire process of realizing bottom-up stimulus selection based on saliency in the midbrain network and indicate that Imc is a nucleus capable of representing both stimulus saliency and stimulus selection.","PeriodicalId":13654,"journal":{"name":"Integrative zoology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143390121","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}
