Abstract: Night-time light can have profound ecological effects, even when the source is natural moonlight. The impacts of light can, however, vary substantially by taxon, habitat and geographical region. We used a custom machine learning model… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d14020152
Abstract: Many well-studied animal species use conspicuous, repetitive signals that attract both mates and predators. Orthopterans (crickets, katydids, and grasshoppers) are renowned for their acoustic signals. In Neotropical forests, however, many katydid species produce extremely short… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/v13010085
Abstract: Understanding the ecology of rodent-borne hantaviruses is critical to assessing the risk of spillover to humans. Longitudinal surveys have suggested that hantaviral prevalence in a given host population is tightly linked to rodent ecology and… read more here.
