Zoo Biology, EarlyView.While higher temperatures are generally expected to increase amphibian growth, our experiments with captive‐reared Eastern Hellbenders found no evidence that growth increased at a rearing temperature of 21°C relative to 16°C. As Eastern Hellbender reintroduction efforts move forward, a focus on other conditions, such as density or diet, might be more ...

Effects of Density and Food Availability on the Growth of Captive‐Reared Eastern Hellbenders
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Our experiments demonstrate that food is the major factor limiting captive‐reared Hellbender growth and that increasing rearing density to the tested levels does not negatively impact growth. Implementing these changes may result in larger, more robust Hellbenders and increase the success of reintroduction programs.

Precipitation shapes colour polymorphism in a widespread spider
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Colour polymorphism, the presence of multiple colour variants within a population, is a common example of intraspecific phenotypic variation and has served as a model for studying drivers of diversity.

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,
