title: Replication Data for: Audience Costs and the Credibility of Public versus Private Threats in International Crises

description: The credibility of public versus private threats in international crisis bargaining has received scholarly attention. While public threats are often believed to be more credible than private ones because of audience costs, others contend that private threats should be equally credible or even more. Also, the effect of public threats can be conditioned by other domestic factors such as domestic hawkishness and a leader’s unpopularity. To test these competing expectations, I conducted a conjoint survey experiment that examines how observers assess resolve to fight in an international crisis with a sample of US citizens (N = 1,203). Three major findings stand out. First, evidence suggests that both types of threats increase the perceived likelihood that a country will stand firm. Second, though their effect size is small, public threats are more effective than private ones. Lastly, I find support for the conditional effect of public threats, indicating that the underlying mechanism of the credibility of public threats is domestic audience costs.

title: Accuracy and Completeness of AI Chatbot Responses for Leopard Gecko (<i>Eublepharis macularius</i>) Husbandry: An Exploratory Comparison of ChatGPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 Pro

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro are increasingly used to retrieve care advice on specialized topics including exotic pet husbandry, raising concerns about accuracy and animal welfare. This study, to our knowledge, is the first direct comparison of these models for husbandry knowledge on the widely kept reptile leopard gecko (<i>Eublepharis macularius</i>). Both were queried with 21 questions (biology, care, health) using two prompting styles: questions asked individually in separate chats and all questions asked within a single chat; responses were scored for accuracy and completeness. Both provided generally accurate information (≥2/3) without dangerous errors or “hallucinations.” However, completeness varied; Gemini 2.5 Pro providing more detail. Prompting style was critical: individual prompts yielded far more comprehensive responses (average words: ChatGPT 136, Gemini 387) than combined prompts (ChatGPT 12, Gemini 64), which were sometimes incomplete, especially for ChatGPT-4o. Furthermore, the models demonstrated potential data biases – such as omitting commercial diets while recommending only larger-than-standard enclosures. LLMs can be useful starting points, but critical evaluation, effective prompting, and expert consultation remain essential to ensure animal welfare.

title: Morphological and molecular characterization of Travassosinema viatorum n. sp. (Nematoda: Oxyuridomorpha: Travassosinematidae) from the invasive millipede Chamberlinius hualienensis Wang, 1956 (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Paradoxosomatidae) in Okinawa, Japan

Zootaxa 5318 (4): 504-514, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5318.4.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5318.4.4AbstractTravassosinema viatorum n. sp. (Nematoda: Oxyuridomorpha: Travassosinematidae) is described from the invasive millipede Chamberlinius hualienensis Wang, 1956 (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Paradoxosomatidae) in Okinawa, Japan. Females of T. viatorum n. sp. resemble T. claudiae Morffe & Hasegawa, 2017; T. thyropygi Hunt, 1996 and T. travassosi Rao, 1958 by lacking both lateral alae and a contraction posterior to the vulva. The body length of T. viatorum n. sp. is shorter than the aforementioned species. It differs from T. claudiae and T. thyropygi by its comparatively longer oesophagus, more posterior vulva, lack of cuticular ribs in the alae of the umbraculum and in the position of the nerve ring and excretory pore. Travassosinema viatorum n. sp. can be differentiated from T. travassosi by the extension of the cephalic umbraculum and the smaller eggs. The phylogeny of T. viatorum n. sp. is inferred by the D2–D3 domains of the 28S rDNA. The new species is located in a monophyletic clade with other sequences of Travassosinema from millipedes. The comparison of the phylogenies of Travassosinema and their hosts points to host switching rather than coevolution as a mechanism to explain the host-nematode relationships. This constitutes the second species of the genus Travassosinema described from the Japanese archipelago and the first oxyuridomorph nematodes found in C. hualienensis.

title: Describing biodiversity in the genomics era: A new species of Nearctic Cynipidae gall wasp and its genome

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Brandão-Dias, Pedro F. P., Zhang, Yuanmeng Miles, Pirro, Stacy, Vinson, Camila C., Weinersmith, Kelly L., Ward, Anna K. G., Forbes, Andrew A., Egan, Scott P. (2022): Describing biodiversity in the genomics era: A new species of Nearctic Cynipidae gall wasp and its genome. Systematic Entomology 47 (1): 94-112, DOI: 10.1111/syen.12521Abstract. Gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) specializing onlive oaks in the genus Quercus (subsection Virentes) are a relatively diverse and well-studied community with 14 species described to date, albeit with incomplete information on their biology, life history and genetic structure. Incorporating an integrative taxonomic approach, we combine morphology, phenology, behaviour, genetics and genomics to describe a new species, Neuroterus valhalla sp. nov. . The alternating generations of this species induce galls on the catkins and stem nodes of Quercus virginiana and Quercus geminata in the southern United States. We describe both generations in the species’ life cycle, and primarily use samples from a population in the centre of Houston, Texas, thus serving as an example of the undescribed biodiversity still present in well-travelled urban centres. In parallel, we present a draft assembly of the N. valhalla genome providing a direct link between the type specimen and reference genome. The genome of N. valhalla is the smallest reported to date within the tribe Cynipini, providing an important comparative contrast to the otherwise large genome size of cynipids. While relatively small, the genome was found to be composed of&gt; 64% repetitive elements, including 43% unclassified repeats and 11% retrotransposons. Apreliminary ab initio and homology-based annotation revealed 32,005 genes, and a subsequent orthogroup analysis grouped 18,044 of theseto 8186 orthogroups, with some evidence for high levels of gene duplications within Cynipidae. Amitochondrial barcode phylogeny linked eachgeneration of the newspecies and aphylogenomic ultraconserved element (UCEs) phylogeny indicates that the new species groups with other Nearctic Neuroterus. However, both phylogenies present the genus Neuroterus in North America as polyphyletic.

Zootaxa 5129 (3): 374-398, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5129.3.3AbstractIn the last decades, a remarkable fauna of psammophilous and fossorial squamates was discovered in sandy habitats of the semiarid Caatinga of northeast Brazil. Despite the increasing accumulation of genetic data from this unique fauna, an incomplete knowledge of its diversity still hampers a better understanding of its origins and diversification. The fossorial lizard genus Calyptommatus (Gymnophthalmidae) is endemic to sandy habitats of the Caatinga, being currently represented by four allopatric species. In this study, we used morphological and molecular data to assess population-level variation in Calyptommatus. We found a new morphotype of Calyptommatus from the state of Bahia, Brazil, readily distinguished from congeners by the presence of a frontal scale. Morphological, nuDNA and geographic data support the recognition of a new species herein described as Calyptommatus frontalis sp. nov. Nevertheless, genetic data revealed mito-nuclear+morphology discordance, with populations with frontal scales distributed in three distantly related mtDNA clades, suggesting either potential historical and/or current introgressions or incomplete lineage sorting. Further data are needed to clarify the status of the two other mtDNA clades displaying a frontal scale.

In the present contribution a new species, Phyllogeiton trachybasis, is described, illustrated, mapped, and compared with the other members of the genus, especially with P. discolor with which it has hitherto been confused. An identification key and illustrations are provided for the three species of Phyllogeiton. The new species has a restricted range and is presently only known for certain from the KwaZuluNatal part of the Maputaland Centre of Endemism in South Africa. Known trees of P. trachybasis are mostly old and there are no signs of recruitment in nature. Outside conservation areas, the bark of P. trachybasis is heavily utilised for biocultural purposes, most probably a main reason for the apparent demise of the species. A preliminary conservation assessment suggests that P. trachybasis should be classified as Endangered.
