Who's the boss? Understanding the spatial relationship between snow leopard and Eurasian lynx in southern Mongolia

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Interspecific competition, a fundamental ecological process characterized by negative interactions between species, plays a vital role in shaping ecological communities. Despite the co‐occurrence of the snow leopard Panthera uncia and the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx across vast landscapes in Asia, their interactions remain poorly understood. In this study,

Denning chronology in an Arctic brown bear population

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Denning is a critical behavioral adaptation for brown bears Ursus arctos to cope with winter, a period of extended resource scarcity. Bears reduce their body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism during this time to minimize energy expenditures. The Arctic has among the most pronounced and longest period of resource scarcity. Thus, we predicted bears

Evaluating patterns of plant phenological progression and pronghorn movement behaviors across diverse landscapes Évaluation des modèles de progression phénologique des plantes et des comportements de mouvement des antilopes d'Amérique dans divers paysages

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We found variable spatial and temporal patterns and predictability of plant phenological progression across 8 pronghorn ranges in Montana. We sampled potential exposure to phenology values for migrants and residents along spring movement paths and summer ranges and found that within herds and years the resident and migrant movement strategies conferred

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Agropastoral possibilism and the trajectorial affordances of Danish inland heaths: a study of deep‐time entrapment Possibilisme agropastoral et affordances des trajectoires dans les landes de l'arrière‐pays danois : une étude des entraves dans le passé lointain

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
History does not unfold along a single trajectory, and yet the socioecological configuration of landscapes may narrow the directions history can take. This article develops a framework for assessing the directionality of history in a (pre)historic heath landscape in Denmark.

Multi‐omics reveal the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaption of small wild ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park, China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This research reveals the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaptation of wild small ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park. Unlike Tibetan sheep (TS), blue sheep (PN and Tibetan antelope (TA) often grazed low‐quality herbage in a wildness environment, and the higher microbial diversity and resilient network characteristics

Chromosome‐level genome assembly and population genomic analysis provide insights into the genetic diversity and adaption of Schizopygopsis younghusbandi on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We have constructed the chromosome‐scale genome and investigated the evolutionary genomics of Schizopygopsis younghusbandi, a fish species native to the Yarlung Tsangpo River on the Tibetan Plateau. Our study indicated that this species diverged from other Schizothoracine fish approximately 4.2 million years ago, during the Neogene Tibetan uplift ...
