recommendations! Published in 2024 at "American journal of botany"

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16333

Abstract: PREMISE During the last centuries, the area covered by urban landscapes is increasing all over the world. Urbanization can change local habitats and decrease connectivity among these habitats, with important consequences for species interactions. While… read more here.

Practice does not make perfect: Juvenile object play does not improve the predation skills of adult mink in "simulated prey" tests.

DOI: 10.1002/dev.22268

Abstract: In carnivores, juvenile object play is hypothesized to improve the development of adult predation ability. We tested this hypothesis in a model carnivore, the American mink (Neovison vison). Play was induced via the provision of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10093

Abstract: Abstract Birds select suitable nest sites for breeding to ensure their own and offspring's survival; however, they inevitably suffer some potential predation risk. We studied the breeding ecology of Daurian redstarts (Phoenicurus auroreus) by providing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11191

Abstract: Abstract The pace of biological invasions has increased in recent decades, leading to multiple invasions and the potential dominance of invasive species, destabilizing local ecological networks. This provides opportunities to study new ecological species interactions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11474

Abstract: Abstract The intricate interplay between predators and prey has long fascinated ecologists, with bats and their diverse prey offering insight into co‐evolutionary dynamics. While bats have evolved sophisticated strategies for prey capture, they also face… read more here.

Refuge or predation risk? Alternate ways to perceive hiker disturbance based on maternal state of female caribou

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2672

Abstract: Abstract Human presence in natural environments is often a source of stress that is perceived by large ungulates as an increased risk of predation. Alternatively, disturbance induced by hikers creates a relatively predator‐free space that… read more here.

Habitat formation prevails over predation in influencing fouling communities

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3654

Abstract: Abstract Coastal human‐made structures, such as marinas and harbors, are expanding worldwide. Species assemblages described from these artificial habitats are novel relative to natural reefs, particularly in terms of the abundance of nonindigenous species (NIS).… read more here.

Maternal behaviors influence survival of ungulate neonates under heavy predation risk

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70151

Abstract: Abstract Predators impose top‐down forces on prey populations, with the strength of those effects often varying over space and time and among demographic groups. In ungulates, predation risk is typically greatest for neonatal offspring, with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71357

Abstract: ABSTRACT Knowledge of wolf ( Canis lupus )‐beaver ( Castor canadensis ) interactions has largely been derived from indirect observations due to the cryptic nature of wolves and the densely forested areas where they usually… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71447

Abstract: ABSTRACT Heatwaves, increasingly prevalent in our rapidly changing climate, significantly impact animals with far‐reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. One of the first responses in animals to stress, including heat stress, is behavioural change, and this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72118

Abstract: ABSTRACT River otter ( Lontra canadensis ) predation of seabirds has been periodically documented throughout North America, but most knowledge about this subject exists as anecdotal observations in the memories of experienced seabird biologists. Using… read more here.
