Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers analyzed the largest molecular dataset of ichneumonoids parasitoid wasps to explore latitudinal patterns in genetic diversity, revealing that nucleotide diversity peaked at northern temperate latitudes.
  • * The findings indicated a weak but positive connection between genetic diversity and latitude, as well as climate factors, emphasizing the need to consider these links as climate change affects species distribution.

Unlabelled: Detailed information spanning the full annual cycle is lacking for most songbird populations. We examined breeding, migration, and non-breeding sites for the Yellow-breasted Chat ( chat). We deployed archival GPS tags and light-level geolocators on breeding chats in British Columbia and light-level geolocators in California from 2013 to 2017 to determine migration routes and non-breeding sites.

Four species of true crocodile (genus ) have been described from the Americas. Three of these crocodile species exhibit non-overlapping distributions- in South America, along the Caribbean coast of Mesoamerica, and confined to Cuba. The fourth, , is narrowly sympatric with each of the other three species.
