Assessing survey techniques for eastern spotted skunks: camera traps, detection dogs, and scent lures

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Experimental layout comparing 3 survey methods (tree‐mounted cameras, enclosed camera traps, and a detection dog) and 2 scent lures (rabbit urine and weasel gland paste) for detecting eastern spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius) in Florida, USA. All survey methods yielded low but similar detection probabilities.

Reproductive success under constraints: Does increased maternal activity during lactation offset poor habitat and individual quality in an income breeder?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐induced environmental modifications may alter forage access and, hence, how animals manage energy trade‐offs during critical periods. Reproduction, especially lactation, is the most energetically costly process for female mammals.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Evaluation of Dry Ice for Short-Term Storage and Transportation of Frozen Boar Semen

Animals
To address the safety problems posed by the transportation of boar semen using LN, this study was conducted on the short-term storage of frozen boar semen in dry ice (−79 °C).

From foraging to decomposition: Large vertebrates as biotic drivers of trace element cycling across landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We highlight an overlooked pathway in ecosystem functioning: the role of animal carcass decomposition in trace element cycling. By linking animal life cycles to landscape‐scale processes, we explain how large animals redistribute scarce elements and influence spatial heterogeneity, with implications for ecosystem functioning and restoration.
