Balancing Risk and Reward: Red Fox Exploitation of Kill Sites in a Wolf‐Occupied Landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Wolves are recolonising the European Alps, and the carcasses they leave behind are a valuable food source for smaller carnivores. Using camera traps at 26 wolf‐killed red deer carcasses in Stelvio National Park, we found that red foxes visited every carcass and timed their visits according to how much meat was left, rather than to whether wolves were ...

Linking drought strategy to climate‐of‐origin in a widespread C4 grass: hydraulic traits, xylem anatomy and stomatal behaviour in Themeda triandra

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Climate‐of‐origin of Themeda triandra populations used in this study. Summary Hydraulic, stomatal, and anatomical traits strongly influence plant performance under drought, but the extent to which these trait‐types are coordinated and relate to climate‐of‐origin remains vastly underexplored in herbaceous species relative to woody plants.

Ten rules for robust taxonomy in ecological datasets

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
A workflow for better use and integration of taxonomic‐related information into ecological datasets. Summary Accurate taxonomy, including species identification and naming, underpins ecological inference, yet taxonomic information in ecological datasets is often inconsistently recorded or weakly standardized.

Plant endemism of the Balkan high‐mountain fens: a community‐level synthesis and their climate change perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐

Cultural and ecological baselines inform an eco‐cultural vision for Weka (Gallirallus australis) restoration in southern New Zealand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Eco‐cultural restoration requires targets that reflect cultural values and ecological conditions. We present an integrative approach combining cultural and ecological baselines to inform future eco‐cultural restoration of Buff weka (Gallirallus australis hectori), a flightless bird of deep cultural significance to the Ōtākou Māori

First assessment of brush‐harvested native seed mixes in southern Brazilian grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of grassland ecosystems in southern Brazil remains limited by the absence of a structured supply chain for native seeds and seedlings. Objectives Here, we present the first evaluation in Brazil of mechanized, multi‐species seed harvesting from native grassland remnants using a brush harvester.
