Landscape heterogeneity shapes the spatial and diet partitioning of a montane carnivore guild

Oikos, EarlyView.
Interspecific competition is a structural force in animal communities and can be particularly influential among species with similar taxonomic or ecological characteristics. In carnivore communities, heterogeneity in resource availability and landscape structure can ameliorate competitive interactions, but it is often difficult to quantify the space ...

Recruitment probability in a large carnivore: the role of biological and human‐related factors in early‐life

Oikos, EarlyView.
To reach reproduction, individuals must survive the juvenile stage, a critical period of low survival rates in large carnivores. Early‐life conditions during this stage can have lasting effects on survival, reproductive maturation, growth, physiology and behaviour. We assessed recruitment probability in Scandinavian wolves, i.e.

Colours of urban selection: carotenoid‐based signals reveal divergent urban/rural evolutionary trajectories in two closely related passerines

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.

High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

Oikos, EarlyView.
Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

The Prevalence of Different Types of Bullying and Their Predictors Among 8th Graders in Post‐Soviet Countries: Cross‐National Insights From Kazakhstan and Russia. Findings From Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2019

Psychology in the Schools, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing research on bullying in Western contexts, less is known about its prevalence and predictors in post‐Soviet nations. This study explores bullying among 8th‐grade students in Kazakhstan and Russia‐two post‐Soviet countries with contrasting development levels but shared historical ties.

Mining Alzheimer's Interactomes, Macromolecular Complexes and Pathways for Drug Discovery

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to dementia. Many cases are diagnosed annually and there is no currently available cure. Understanding the underlying disease biology of AD through the study of molecular networks, particularly by mapping clinical variants to tissue‐specific interactomes and ...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza in the urban jungle: Glomeromycotina communities of the dominant city tree across Amsterdam

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Trees in cities provide a great number of benefits to people and nature, but they are challenged by harsh conditions. Trees rely on helpful fungi in their roots to get essential nutrients from the soil, but we do not know which of these fungi are resistant to city landscapes.
