Ecology and Brain Size Drive Feeding Innovations in Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Larger‐brained birds exhibit higher feeding innovation rates, but ecological factors shape different forms of innovation in distinct ways. Across 955 bird species, phylogenetic path analyses revealed that migration type and feeding strategy mediate the effects of brain size and climate on feeding innovations, illustrating how cognition and ecology ...

Spatial Patterns and Associated Factors of Intestinal Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Farmed Bullfrogs From Selected Farms Across Major Production Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Across selected bullfrog farms in major Chinese production regions, 106 intestinal ARG subtypes were detected, with tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance genes predominating and clear farm‐level variation. High‐risk ARGs, including ermB, floR, and qnrA, were associated with heavy metals, MGEs, and opportunistic pathogens. These findings highlight the

VTMaxBox: A reproducible practical tool for measuring voluntary thermal maximum in terrestrial ectotherms

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Thermal traits are central to understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental warming. However, not all thermal traits describe the same biological process. Critical thermal maxima quantify physiological failure, whereas preferred temperatures describe thermal selection under choice conditions.

Spatially realistic dynamic N‐mixture models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Dispersal is a complex ecological process that can be driven by the abiotic environment, density‐dependent processes and species mobility. Traditionally, dispersal has been studied with capture‐based data that are often limited in space and time. More recently, spatial dynamic N‐mixture models (i.e.

Bacpipe: A Python package to make bioacoustic deep learning models accessible

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural sounds have been recorded for millions of hours over the previous decades using passive acoustic monitoring. Improvements in deep learning models have vastly accelerated the analysis of large portions of this data. While new models advance the state‐of‐the‐art, accessing them using tools to harness their full potential is not always ...
