Effects of land use on Eurasian otter presence in northeast China
Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) occur across Asia, Europe, and northern Africa, yet many populations are declining or endangered. Otter populations in northeast China have decreased substantially over the past 70 years, which is generally attributed to land use change, though this hypothesis remains…

Do waterbirds determine the distribution of aquatic plants on the Kuril Archipelago (North-Western Pacific)?
Aquatic plant ranges are supposed to be considerably shaped by long-distance dispersal with waterbirds. However, frequency and spatial patterns of such dispersal are difficult to quantify directly. Constant plant-bird associations, being an important indirect estimate of dispersal intensity, are…

Chemosystematic implications of flavonoids of the Ostericum sieboldii complex in East Asia
The chemosystematic relationships among East Asian Ostericum species were investigated through flavonoid analysis and morphometric studies. Two distinct chemotypes were identified in O. sieboldii populations: a flavonol type, containing primarily kaempferol and quercetin glycosides, found in Japan…

The moth Herochroma subspoliata (Prout, 1916) camouflaging with the lichen Porina cf. tetracerae (Ach.) Müll. Arg.
Insect-lichen associations are often shaped by ecological pressures with camouflage being the primary adaptive function especially among visually cryptic species. This study observed camouflage of Herochroma subspoliata Prout on Porina cf. tetracerae (Ach.) Müll. Arg. hosted by Elaeocarpus serratus…

Quantification of unusual carotenoid coloration in a male Common Rosefinch Carpodacus erythrinus
The red plumage coloration in birds, derived from the metabolic transformation of dietary yellow carotenoids, is thought to be influenced by both environmental conditions and individual body conditions. Here, we document the first recorded case of a Common Rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus)…
