Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

Host Phylogeny and Feeding Habit Jointly Govern Mammalian Gut Microbiota Composition
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Herbivores showed higher alpha diversity than carnivores/omnivores, while omnivores had the highest beta diversity. Host phylogeny influenced gut microbiota more strongly in herbivores/omnivores, with phylogenetic distance correlating to microbiota dissimilarity.

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding species interactions is critical for ecology and conservation, yet conventional network construction methods often lack spatiotemporal resolution and important contextual information. The growing field of ecoacoustics enables remote sensing across large spatiotemporal scales and the monitoring of otherwise cryptic communities ...

Mammal Responses to Habitat Degradation Induced by Cashew Expansion in West Africa
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Relationships between (a) estimated mammal species richness, (b) overall mammal species photographic rate, (c) carnivore photographic rate, (d) insectivore photographic rate, (e) omnivore photographic rate and (f) herbivore photographic rate and the local habitat characteristics as denoted by the scores of the first component of the Principal Component
