An unresolved issue regarding the mitigation of noise pollution is whether and at which timescales animals may adapt to noise pollution. Here, we tested whether continuous highway noise exposure perinatally and during juvenile development increased noise tolerance in a songbird, the zebra finch (Taeniopygia castanotis). Breeding pairs were exposed to highway noise recordings from pre-egg-laying until their offspring reached subadulthood. Subsequently, offspring were tested for noise tolerance both as subadults and adults in a spatial preference test, where birds could choose to enter aviaries with different levels of highway noise. Unlike control birds that preferentially chose the quiet aviaries, noise-reared birds exhibited no spatial preferences for quiet in the first test. However, when the experimental birds were retested after two months without noise exposure, they now avoided the previously tolerated noise levels and preferred the quieter aviary. The increased noise tolerance observed directly after the release from the noise treatment was thus only transient. Growing up with chronic highway noise exposure did thus not increase subjects' noise tolerance, meaning that at least in this songbird species, adaptation to noise pollution is unlikely to arise on a developmental time scale.","PeriodicalId":9005,"journal":{"name":"Biology Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":"20240575"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11706649/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142944093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is the first to investigate the cognitive consequences of hypoxia in fish, specifically induced by exhaustive exercise and air exposure, conditions commonly encountered during catch-and-release (C&R) practices in recreational fishing. Angling exerts substantial pressure on inland fish populations, underscoring the need for sustainable practices like C&R. While C&R survival rates are generally high, understanding its sublethal impacts is crucial for evaluating the practice's ethical and ecological sustainability. We examined the effects of these stressors on the cognitive function of 238 rainbow trout, using the free movement pattern Y-maze method to assess working memory through navigational search patterns during free exploration sessions. Our results showed that air exposure led to short-term (3-4 h post-treatment), but transient impairments in working memory, with no long-term cognitive deficits observed at one week and one month post-treatment. These findings emphasize the high tolerance of fish to hypoxia and support the sustainability of C&R as a tool in fisheries management.","PeriodicalId":9005,"journal":{"name":"Biology Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":"20240527"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11732411/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142982555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, measurements from digital endocasts must be validated as reflecting actual brain anatomy, which is difficult because the collection of soft tissue information through histology is laborious and time-consuming. In birds, the reliability of digital endocast measurements as volume proxies for the two largest brain regions-the telencephalon and cerebellum-remains to be validated despite their use as proxies, e.g. of cognitive performance or flight ability. We here use the largest dataset of histology and digital endocasts to date, including 136 species from 25 avian orders, to compare digital endocast surface area measurements with actual brain volumes of the telencephalon, cerebellum and whole-brain endocast. Using linear and phylogenetically informed regression analyses, we demonstrate that endocast surfaces are strongly correlated with their brain volume counterparts for both absolute and relative size. This provides empirical support for using endocast-derived cerebellar and telencephalic surface areas in existing and future studies of living and extinct birds, with potential to expand to the dinosaur-bird transition in the future.","PeriodicalId":9005,"journal":{"name":"Biology Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":"20240596"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11750377/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142999615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dominance relationships based on age, immigration order or nepotism (alliances with kin) conventions are usually more stable than those based on intrinsic characteristics such as physical strength. Unlike most mammals, female gorillas disperse from their groups, typically more than once in their lifetimes, disrupting their group tenures and/or any alliances. Thus, we predicted that they form unstable dominance relationships that are not based on conventions. Contrarily, using a 24-year dataset on five groups of both gorilla species, we found that females form strikingly stable dominance relationships, maintained over their whole co-residence in a group (mean dyadic co-residence = 4.8, max = 17.3 years). Specifically, we observed rank reversals in only two out of 92 female dyads, and all other rank improvements resulted from emigration or death of higher-ranking females (passive mobility). These results mirror observations in chimpanzees, suggesting that dominance dynamics might have deep roots in hominid evolution. Our study challenges a hypothesized link between hierarchy instability and dispersal, particularly among animals in which fitness consequences of rank improvement may not be great enough to counterbalance the potentially high costs of challenging higher-ranking individuals.","PeriodicalId":9005,"journal":{"name":"Biology Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":"20240556"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11751638/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142999619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extent to which co-diversification has been mediated by partner fidelity between strains and hosts or by geographical distance between hosts is not clear due to a lack of strain-level data from clades of hosts with unconfounded phylogenetic relationships and geographical distributions. Here, I tested these competing hypotheses through meta-analyses of 7121 gut bacterial genomes assembled from wild-living ape species and subspecies sampled throughout their ranges in equatorial Africa. Across the gut bacterial phylogeny, strain diversification was more strongly associated with host phylogeny than with geography. In total, approximately 14% of the branch length of the gut bacterial phylogeny showed significant evidence of co-diversification independent of geography, whereas only approximately 4% showed significant evidence of diversification associated with geography independent of host phylogeny. Geographically co-occurring heterospecific hosts (Pan and Gorilla) universally maintained distinct co-diversified bacterial strains. Strains whose diversification was associated with geography independent of host phylogeny included clades of Proteobacteria known to adopt free-living lifestyles (e.g. Escherichia). These results show that co-diversification of gut bacterial strains with hominids has been driven primarily by fidelity of strains to host lineages rather than geography.","PeriodicalId":9005,"journal":{"name":"Biology Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":"20240454"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11774583/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143057927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the extinction of island species accounts for most human-caused extinctions in recent time scales, which have accelerated in recent centuries. Pigeons and doves (Columbidae) are noteworthy for the high number of island endemics, as well as for the risks those species have faced since human arrival. On Caribbean islands, no other columbid has generated more phylogenetic interest and uncertainty than the blue-headed quail-dove, Starnoenas cyanocephala. This endangered Cuban endemic has been considered more similar, both behaviourally and phenotypically, to Australasian species than to the geographically closer 'quail-dove' (Geotrygon s.l.) species of the Western Hemisphere. Here, we use whole genome sequencing from Starnoenas and other newly sequenced columbids in combination with sequence data from previous publications to investigate its relationships. Phylogenomic analyses, which represent 35 of the 51 genera currently comprising the Columbidae, reveal that the blue-headed quail-dove is the sole representative of a lineage diverging early in the radiation of columbids. Starnoenas is sister to the species-rich subfamily Columbinae, which is found worldwide. As a highly distinctive evolutionary lineage lacking close modern relatives, we recommend elevating the conservation priority of Starnoenas.","PeriodicalId":9005,"journal":{"name":"Biology Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":"20240464"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11706640/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142944161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In marine and freshwater mussels, each mitogenome has an additional protein-coding gene, called female- and male-specific open reading frame or forf and morf, respectively. The function(s) of the associated FORF and MORF proteins remain unknown. Herein, we show that these proteins present similar tissue expression patterns in two distantly related DUI species: MORF was only expressed in male gonads, whereas FORF was expressed in all tissues of both sexes in the marine mussel Mytilus edulis and the freshwater mussel Venustaconcha ellipsiformis. Moreover, MORF was only expressed during the reproductive season, while FORF presented no clear seasonality pattern in M. edulis. Immunocytochemistry revealed the presence of both proteins in mitochondria and acrosomes of late spermatids and mature sperm. We hypothesize that MORF has a key function in spermatogenesis, while FORF has a more general function in both sexes. We also propose that both proteins may be involved in the fertilization process. The involvement of MORF in paternal mitochondrial transmission is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":9005,"journal":{"name":"Biology Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":"20240564"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11732398/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142982428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied a meta-analysis approach to test whether annual temperature and year affected fish reproductive phenology. Based on preliminary tests in walleye (Sander vitreus) and Lake Constance whitefish (Coregonus arenicolus), we hypothesized that increasing temperature would promote earlier spring-spawning and later autumn-spawning. We found spawning was significantly earlier in the spring and later in the autumn. We found that migration of autumn-spawning species occurred earlier with warmer temperatures, implying that with increasing temperatures, migrating autumn-spawning species will increase residence time in tributaries. We also found that spring-spawning fishes reproduced earlier in more recent years, while we observed no significant effect in autumn-spawners.
