Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

The Role of Hematophagous Arthropods, Other than Mosquitoes and Ticks, in Arbovirus Transmission
VirusesArthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) significantly impact human, domestic animal, and wildlife health. While most arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by blood-feeding mosquitoes and ticks, a growing body of evidence highlights the importance

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Wildlife mortality investigations are important toward understanding health threats to wildlife and management considerations. The who, what, why and how are critical pieces of these investigations. Wildlife pathologists play a central role in this process in elucidating causes and contributors to mortality. Abstract To effectively recognize and manage

Review of the Bat Flies of Honduras, Central America (Diptera: Streblidae)
Journal of Parasitology Research, 2013 Streblid bat flies are obligate and host-specific blood-feeding ectoparasites of bats. While the bat flies of some American countries are well studied (e.g., Panama, Venezuela), little is known about Honduran Streblidae.

True metabolizable energy of moist‐soil seeds among dabbling duck species
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We quantified TMEN for moist‐soil plant seed species (Cyperus erythrorhizos, Cyperus iria, Panicum rigidulum, Polygonum hydropiperoides, Polygonum lapathifolium, Sesbania herbacea) among 3 species of dabbling duck (mallard [Anas platyrhynchos], northern pintail [A. acuta], and green‐winged teal [A. crecca]).

Mean temperature determines whether winter variability accelerates or buffers energy loss
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Winter survival in dormant animals depends on conserving finite energy reserves, yet winter temperatures fluctuate around shifting means. In ectotherms, metabolic rate increases exponentially with temperature, so thermal variability is expected to accelerate energy loss,

Parasites & VectorsBackground Bats are important reservoir hosts for a variety of pathogens, some of which are transmitted by ectoparasite vectors including mites, fleas, lice, ticks, and bat flies (families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae).

Niche occupancy of Jamaican bat caves: Diversity increases isotopic niche packing
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Tropical bat caves are home to hundreds of thousands of bats of multiple species. In Jamaica, we found that isotopic niche packing is the likely mechanism of coexistence at more diverse sites. Abstract There are over 1000 documented caves across Jamaica, many of them used by diverse communities of bats.
