DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8546
Abstract: Abstract Climate warming and human disturbance are known to be key drivers in causing range contraction of many species, but quantitative assessment on their distinctive and interactive effects on local disappearance is still rare. In… read more here.

Abstract: Predation risk can program offspring behavior, physiology, and fitness through maternal effect, but most studies have mainly focused on this effect during pregnancy; little is known about the effect of postpartum predation risk on offspring's… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2023-0006
Abstract: Food grinding is an abnormal behavior in rodents, and its influencing factors are unknown. Our study investigated the potential relationships between gut microbiota and food grinding in Brandt’s voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii (Radde, 1861)) by comparing… read more here.
