Multiscale Effects of Environmentally Relevant Mixtures Containing Two Estrogenic Endocrine Disruptors, Chlordecone and Propylparaben, in Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the chronic effects of chlordecone (CLD) and propylparaben (PP), two pro‐estrogenic endocrine disruptors, on Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766 using a multiscale approach over a 14‐day exposure period. Environmentally relevant concentrations of CLD (0.5, 5, 20 μg L−1) and PP (0.01, 0.05, 0.40 μg L−1) were tested individually ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

The status quo is imperiled: Acknowledging the issue of range‐shifting wildlife species

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Rapid climate and land‐use change are reshaping wildlife distributions, forcing managers to confront difficult decisions that challenge the traditional “status quo” approach. Range contractions of snow‐dependent species such as the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus; left photo) may increasingly require practitioners to recognize and plan for unavoidable ...

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Life history attributes influencing metabolic variation in an estuarine fish

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Considering that energy availability and oxygen transport potential are limited in supplying metabolic requirements, all animals face trade‐offs between competing metabolic demands.

Bridging the divide between models of animal‐driven and microbial‐driven biogeochemical cycling: A zoogeochemistry‐informed framework

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Most current terrestrial biogeochemical models formalize biogeochemical cycling as predominantly controlled by processes involving plants and soil microbes. However, growing evidence indicates that above‐ground animals could exert controlling feedback effects that alter

Fungal Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections proliferate during amphibian terrestrial dormancy

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The spread and impact of wildlife pathogens is often seasonal, and identifying the season(s) of highest impact can be critical to biodiversity and public health management.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
