Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Winter browsing by moose (Alces alces) in a forested mountainous landscape of west–central Sweden
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Browsing ecology involving ungulates and their food resource is complex as consumption may reflect responses to various factors, such as quantity and quality of browse species. This study investigated winter browsing by moose Alces alces in a mountainous landscape of west–central Sweden, characterized by Norway spruce Picea abies production forests ...

Climatic variation affects seasonal survival of an alpine bird species
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Mountains are particularly exposed to climate change, and empirical studies have shown that montane bird species are highly sensitive to the ongoing changes. Modelling mortality risks under climatic variation will give insight into species‐specific sensitivity. Willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

Journal of Phycology, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 773-788, December 2022., 2022 Production rates reported for canopy‐forming kelps have highlighted the potential contributions of these foundational macroalgal species to carbon cycling and sequestration on a globally relevant scale. Yet, the production dynamics of many kelp species remain poorly resolved.

Diversification dynamics of chameleons (Chamaeleonidae)
Journal of Zoology, Volume 318, Issue 4, Page 241-252, December 2022., 2022 Chameleons are an iconic group of lizards, and have become a model system for studying ecological speciation and African biogeography. Here, we present the first analysis of diversification rates across the whole family and reveal a remarkably stable pattern of decreasing speciation rates over time across almost the entire evolutionary history of the ...

The only inflated brown dwarf in an eclipsing white dwarf-brown dwarf binary: WD1032+011B [PDF]
arXivDue to their short orbital periods and relatively high flux ratios, irradiated brown dwarfs in binaries with white dwarfs offer better opportunities to study irradiated atmospheres than hot Jupiters, which have lower planet-to-star flux ratios. WD1032+011 is an eclipsing, tidally locked white dwarf-brown dwarf binary with a 9950 K white dwarf orbited ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Marine foundation species underpin some of the world's most diverse ecosystems but they are increasingly threatened by intensification of marine heatwaves (MHWs). Where MHWs exceed critical thermal maxima (CTmax), increased mortality and population declines can occur ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Root hairs play an important role in the acquisition of soil resources by increasing the absorptive surface area. Yet, key factors driving the variation of root hair traits across different species along biogeographic gradients are still poorly quantified, limiting our understanding of the functional relevance of root hairs.
