Embryonic Development in Two High‐Elevation Oviparous Lizard Species: Contrasting Strategies for Coping With Cold Climates
Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stag...

Sex‐Specific Early Life Corticosterone Stress‐Coping Capacity Is Linked to Mitochondrial Content and Telomere Maintenance
Glucocorticoids are upregulated during acute challenges, contributing to maintenance of energy balance. However, if this upregulation exceeds a threshold or becomes chronic, it can lead to harmful effects. Investigating the factors behin...

Bringing the Lab to the Field: Exploring Water‐Borne Corticosterone as a Physiological Indicator in Captive and Wild Common Frog Larvae (Rana temporaria)
Assessing physiological condition in wild populations is important for understanding how environmental variation shapes organismal performance. Water‐borne corticosterone (WB‐CORT) sampling shows promise for studying amphibian stress phy...

The Enteric Nervous System: An Integrative Hub From Development to Systemic Physiology
The enteric nervous system (ENS) constitutes the largest and most functionally autonomous subdivision of the peripheral nervous system in vertebrates. It orchestrates stereotyped motor programs, secretomotor reflexes, and neuroimmune res...

Monitoring Changes in Sperm Concentration and Quality Help Improve Captive Breeding Outcomes of the Endangered Amphibian Rawlinsonia littlejohni
Amphibians are among the most threatened taxonomic groups, with many species experiencing rapid declines that have resulted in small, isolated populations vulnerable to inbreeding depression and reduced fertility. One major outcome of in...

Attraction of Ovulating Females by Hypertrophied Male Kidney Secretions During the Breeding Season in the Freshwater Goby, Rhinogobius flumineus
In nest‐breeding fish species, olfactory signals can provide an effective means for males to attract distant females to nests without leaving them. Previous studies have shown that substances produced in the male kidney may be involved i...

Influence of Habitat Use on Prey Capture Behavior and Kinematics in the Pyrenean Brook Newt ( Calotriton asper )
Caves are extreme environments that impose stringent selective pressures on organisms. Consequently, many cave dwellers show extreme adaptations such as the loss of eyes, depigmentation, and a low resting metabolic rate. Yet, how the ini...

Position Within the Burrow and Behavioral Thermoregulation Jointly Shape Thermal Lability in a Fossorial Ectotherm
Burrowing is a widespread thermoregulatory strategy among ectotherms, yet the spatial and temporal scales by which burrows buffer organisms from thermal extremes remain poorly quantified. We combined high‐resolution temperature measureme...

When the Soil Turns Hostile: A Comparative Study of Aestivation in Riparian and Terrestrial Earthworms
In the Iberian Peninsula, intensifying summer aridity poses a significant threat to soil fauna. Earthworms, as key ecosystem regulators, often rely on aestivation—a dormancy state involving metabolic depression—to survive these hostile c...
