Dog domestication and the dual dispersal of people and dogs into the Americas

Angela R. Perri et al.

Summary: Advances in ancient DNA analysis have revealed close relationships between human and dog population histories, suggesting that dogs were domesticated in Siberia around 23,000 years ago and accompanied humans as they rapidly dispersed into the Americas around 15,000 years ago.

Trans-marine dispersal inferred from the saltwater tolerance of lizards from Taiwan

Min-Hao Hsu et al.

Summary: Dehydration and hypersalinity pose challenges for non-marine organisms crossing the ocean, influencing their physiological responses and species distribution. Through immersion experiments, differences in water loss rate and saltwater tolerance were observed in lizard species across Taiwan and adjacent islands, providing insights into the association between physiological capability and geographical distribution.

Plasticity in thermal hardening of the invasive Asian house gecko

Yingyod Lapwong et al.

Summary: The invasive Asian house gecko from Australia exhibited faster responses to thermal stress and had higher cold tolerance compared to geckos from Thailand. Despite similar heat hardening responses, introduced geckos showed greater cold hardening capacity, suggesting potential advantages in surviving temperature fluctuations in temperate regions.

Testing measures of boldness and exploratory activity in native versus invasive species: geckos as a model system

Eric Nordberg et al.

Summary: Invasive house geckos showed significantly higher levels of exploratory activity compared to native house geckos, but there was no difference in boldness between the two species. Sex did not influence exploratory activity or boldness in either species. The increased exploratory activity of invasive house geckos may have contributed to their successful expansion into natural environments surrounding urban areas.

How the African house gecko (Hemidactylus mabouia) conquered the world

Ishan Agarwal et al.

Summary: The study conducted range-wide sampling of Hemidactylus mabouia to understand the evolutionary history of this species and its invasiveness. Results suggest that H. mabouia originated in the Zambezian biogeographic region, includes as many as 20 putative species-level lineages, and only Hemidactylus mabouia sensu stricto is invasive and widely distributed.
