Development of a reliable PCR‐based protocol for molecular sexing of king vultures Sarcoramphus papa
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The king vulture Sarcoramphus papa is a large Neotropical scavenger that lacks external sexual dimorphism, complicating demographic, ecological, and conservation studies. Reliable sex identification is therefore essential, particularly for wild and managed populations. In this study, we assessed and optimized a PCR‐based molecular sexing protocol for S.

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 ...

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environment (i.e. increase in population density) experienced at early life.
