Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Cascading Effects of Overhunting on the Functional Tree Composition of Amazonian Forests
We examined how overhunting‐induced defaunation affects the functional composition of tropical tree communities in western Brazilian Amazonia. Using a robust, spatially replicated dataset from 30 forest plots across a well‐defined gradient of hunting pressure, we assessed the impacts of vertebrate depletion on plant recruitment patterns, dispersal ...

We investigated communication in the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), which is distinctive for depositing its cube‐shaped scats in latrines. We found that bare‐nosed wombats possess a vomeronasal organ for olfactory signal reception, associate their latrines with features in their landscape (particularly rocks, logs, and burrow entrances), have ...
