DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23524
Abstract: Body condition scoring (BCS) assessment can reflect animal welfare status and help the veterinarian to make a quick health management decision, including for confiscated slow loris (Nycticebus spp.). The confiscated slow loris should be rehabilitated… read more here.

Can evolutionary theories of dispersal and senescence predict postrelease survival, dispersal, and body condition of a reintroduced threatened mammal?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7115
Abstract: Abstract Theories of dispersal and senescence (or aging) predict that dispersal, and ongoing survival and body condition, are influenced by evolutionary drivers, along with intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Such theories are relevant to translocations of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71361
Abstract: ABSTRACT Seabirds are widely considered sentinels of their coastal ecosystems. However, biological associations between specific marine and terrestrial factors and seabird health are less well understood. Here, we investigate the associations between habitat‐scale processes and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8062
Abstract: Abstract Urban development can fragment and degrade remnant habitat. Such habitat alterations can have profound impacts on wildlife, including effects on population density, parasite infection status, parasite prevalence, and body condition. We investigated the influence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8442
Abstract: Abstract We assessed the hypothesized negative correlation between the influence of multiple predators and body condition and fecundity of the European hare, from 13 areas in the Netherlands. Year‐round abundance of predators was estimated by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5446
Abstract: Triazole compounds are among the most widely used fungicides in agroecosystems to protect crops from potential fungal diseases. Triazoles are suspected to have an impact on nontarget species due to their interactions with nonfungal sterol… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jat.3663
Abstract: Chemical, physical and biological environmental stressors may affect the endocrine system, such as the thyroid hormone (TH) axis in larval amphibians with consequences for energy partitioning among development, growth and metabolism. We studied the effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-024-04575-3
Abstract: Breeding seabirds are required to balance between feeding their chicks and maintaining their body condition. Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae), a keystone species of the Antarctic ecosystem, have foraging behavioral flexibility that depends on the marine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-025-03378-6
Abstract: Leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) occur mainly south of the Antarctic Polar Front, but immatures, in particular, seasonally move beyond this range during the austral winter and spring, typically under increased sea ice conditions. Extralimital occurrences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04876-0
Abstract: Invasive predators are known to have negative consumptive and non-consumptive effects on native species, but few examples show how the abundance of native prey may influence an established invasive predator. We compared invasive brown treesnakes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-025-01964-z
Abstract: When faced with a predator, parent birds have to choose between current and future breeding. Previous studies have shown that the body condition and personality of parents influence the trade-offs. However, whether body condition and… read more here.
