Animal translocations provide striking examples of the human footprint on biodiversity. Combining continental-wide genomic and DNA-barcoding analyses, we reconstructed the historical biogeography of the Asian black-spined toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus), a toxic commensal amphibian that currently threatens two biodiversity hotspots through biological invasions (Wallacea and Madagascar). The results emphasize a complex diversification shaped by speciation and mitochondrial introgression that comprises two distinct species.

- - Syria hosts a diverse range of ecosystems, featuring nine species of chelonians (turtles and tortoises) from six different families, highlighting its ecological uniqueness in the Mediterranean and Middle East.
- - A recent comprehensive study, incorporating new field data and existing records from 2019 to 2023, documented 321 distribution records of Syrian chelonians and provided updated maps and species lists, with several new findings.
- - The research also assessed nesting sites for two marine turtle species on Syrian coasts for the first time and serves as a vital resource for understanding the biogeography, conservation, and macroecological patterns regarding turtles and tortoises in Syria.
From the beginning of the 19th century to the present, the authorship of the description of the Balkan wall lizard, Podarcis tauricus (Pallas, 1814) was considered undoubted. Recently, Schmidtler (2022) has been concluded that the description of this species should be attributed to J.G.
