Indirect effects of a large mammalian herbivore on small mammal populations: Context‐dependent variation across habitat types, mammal species, and seasons
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4670
Abstract: Abstract Multiple consumer species frequently co‐occur in the same landscape and, through effects on surrounding environments, can interact in direct and indirect ways. These interactions can vary in occurrence and importance, and focusing on this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5273
Abstract: Abstract Species distributed along mountain slopes, facing contrasting habitats in short geographic scale, are of particular interest to test how ecologically based divergent selection promotes phenotypic and genetic disparities as well as to assess isolation‐by‐environment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71085
Abstract: ABSTRACT Bacterial infections account for a large proportion of zoonoses. Our current understanding of zoonotic spillover, however, is largely based on studies from viral systems. Small mammals such as rodents and their ectoparasites present a… read more here.

Demography and Population Dynamics of a Small Mammal Assemblage in Chilean Semiarid Thorn‐Scrub Habitat: A 30‐Year Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72248
Abstract: ABSTRACT Characterizing population dynamics in heterogeneous environments requires comprehensive long‐term data. We monitored seven small mammals in replicated sites in a semiarid Chilean thorn‐scrub habitat over 30 years using monthly capture–mark–recapture (CMR) sampling. We applied a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8918
Abstract: Abstract The frequency of large, high‐severity “mega‐fires” has increased in recent decades, with numerous consequences for forest ecosystems. In particular, small mammal communities are vulnerable to post‐fire shifts in resource availability and play critical roles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70280
Abstract: Forest fires in the southern Rocky Mountains are changing due to climate warming and increased fuel loads. Landscape‐scale stand‐replacement fires create extensive treeless swaths without regenerative seed sources, leading to long‐term conversion of coniferous forest… read more here.
