Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

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 ...

Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

State of the Field: Royal Studies and Court Studies

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Monarchy, as the world's oldest and most enduring form of political organization, is an area that has attracted the attention of scholars from a range of disciplines. Two connected and complementary fields embody this interdisciplinary study of monarchy and monarchies: royal studies, which takes an all‐encompassing approach to monarchy, and ...

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Obligation, Exemption and Remission: The Multi‐Layered Functioning of the Poll Tax (Cizye) in Ottoman Governance during the Long Eighteenth Century

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the poll tax (Ottoman Turkish cizye; Arabic jizya) levied on non‐Muslim subjects of the Ottoman Empire, not as a fixed, one‐dimensional tax item within the Ottoman fiscal system but as a multi‐layered administrative instrument organized around obligation, exemption and remission.
