Artificial supplementary food influences hedgehog occupancy and activity patterns more than predator presence or natural food availability

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...

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 –

Home range shifts and habitat selection across life‐history stages in grey partridges

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how birds use space throughout the year is essential for effective conservation planning, even in resident species. We investigated seasonal space use in a Central European population of grey partridges Perdix perdix, a rapidly declining residential farmland bird.

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

Paler within the city: Carotenoid‐based colouration covaries negatively with the proportion of impervious surface in great tit (Parus major) territories across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across six European cities, great tits in more impervious territories had paler carotenoid‐based plumage, but not lower brightness or UV chroma. This suggests that urban habitat imperviousness is associated specifically with lower carotenoid pigment deposition, rather than broad changes in feather reflectance or structural quality.
