Environmental and Spatial Drivers of Latrine Site Selection in Dorcas Gazelle

Ecology and Evolution
The dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas Linnaeus, 1788), a vulnerable and cryptic species, has experienced significant population declines in recent decades. Its survival now hinges on robust conservation efforts within protected areas.

Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

The Antelope and the Lioness

Fascism, 2023
Abstract The aim of this article is to show that readings of Riefenstahl as an artistic genius with full control over all aspects of her work have closed off more complex readings of the prologue of her film Olympia (1938).

Unmothered at Work: Organizational Silence Around Reproductive Loss

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An identity transition refers to changes in self‐concept that can result from professional or personal shifts. Although organizations increasingly support institutionally legible and culturally normative nonwork transitions, others remain professionally stigmatized or culturally unspeakable.

Pangenome analysis reveals the genetic mechanism underlying high‐altitude adaptation in Qinghai–Xizang (Tibet) Plateau Rhododendron

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pan‐genome analysis reveals that high‐altitude Rhododendron species resist alpine cold stress by rapidly sensing and engaging the chilling response pathway and genes that directly and indirectly protect the plant from UV radiation. Heritable genomic features such as long terminal repeats contribute to the adaptive diversification of Rhododendron ...

Proactive cursorial and ambush predation risk avoidance in four African herbivore species

Ecology and Evolution
Most herbivores must balance demands to meet nutritional requirements, maintain stable thermoregulation and avoid predation. Species‐specific predator and prey characteristics determine the ability of prey to avoid predation and the ability of predators ...

The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Assessing introgressive hybridization in roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus): Lessons from South Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Biological diversity is being lost at unprecedented rates, with genetic admixture and introgression presenting major threats to biodiversity. Our ability to accurately identify introgression is critical to manage species, obtain insights into ...

Microsite selection improves post‐fire restoration of singleleaf pinyon pine on Washoe Tribal lands in the Pine Nut Mountains, NV, USA

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla) holds both ecological and cultural significance for Indigenous Tribes of the Great Basin, such as the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California. Recent wildfires on Washoe Tribal lands have resulted in the loss of important pinyon pine groves, prompting collaborative efforts to develop post ...
