Heteropoda huntsman spiders are large, fast‐moving predators widely distributed across tropical and subtropical regions, where they function as important nocturnal hunters. Despite their ecological prominence, the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the genus remains poorly resolved. Here, we analysed a six‐locus dataset (two mitochondrial and four nuclear genes) to estimate divergence times and reconstruct ancestral ran...

The Asiatic black bear ( Ursus thibetanus ) is considered as globally vulnerable, and its distribution in Pakistan has drastically decreased. The current knowledge around its biology and ecology is still poor. To provide crucial management and conservation recommendations for this threatened bear in Pakistan and in other areas in the world, we examined all the literature published from 1977 to 2024 on the two subspecies of U....
