The effect of trait choice on hybrid species distribution model projections under climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been increasingly combined with thermal performance data to enhance their transferability and to provide a physiological explanation for the predicted geographic patterns. Yet, while it is widely acknowledged that thermal sensitivities may vary among biological traits, it remains largely unexplored to what extent

Taking the bait: Developing a bait delivery system to target free‐ranging crocodiles and varanid lizards with a novel conservation strategy

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In tropical Australia, conditioned taste aversion (CTA) can buffer vulnerable native predators from the invasion of a toxic prey species (cane toads, Rhinella marina).

Effects of Heat Stress on the Fat Greenling (Hexagrammos otakii) Necroptosis Mediated by MLKL and Heart Injury

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mixed lineage kinase domain‐like pseudokinase (MLKL) is a key effector of necroptosis. We identified an MLKL homologue from Hexagrammos otakii, named HoMLKL. The open reading frame (ORF) of HoMLKL contained 1497 nucleotides and encoded a protein with 498 amino acids (Mw = 57.15 kDa). Bioinformatic analysis revealed that HoMLKL is highly conserved.

Dynamic environments generate geographic fluctuations in population structure of an inland shorebird

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Species distributions depend on fine‐scale ecological processes and population growth trajectories and are influenced by climate and weather changes. However, the characterization of inter‐population dynamics underlying the geographic distributions of migratory organisms remains challenging.

prioriactions: Multi‐action management planning in R

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1028-1039, June 2025.
Abstract Designing effective conservation strategies requires deciding not only where to locate conservation actions (i.e. which territorial units should be priortized), but also which type actions should be deployed. For most of conservation planning contexts, deciding where and what to do usually yields a complex and computationally challenging ...

Population Estimate and Spatial Distribution of Capybaras in Lake Paranoá, Brasília, Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.
Understanding the dynamics of capybara populations living in urban environments is relevant, especially given the conflicts observed between the species and humans in these environments. Here, we investigated the hypothesis of overpopulation of the capybara in Lago Paranoá, a lake in a large neotropical city, Brasília, Brazil.

Conservation genetics of an island toad: Bufo bufo in Jersey [PDF]

, 2007
On Jersey (British Channel Islands), common toads often reproduce in small, urban ponds. This atypical breeding strategy has implications for their persistence and they have declined on the island in recent times.

Population Genetics Meets Ecology: A Guide to Individual‐Based Simulations in Continuous Landscapes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
This paper aims to be a practical guide to spatial simulation, helping researchers to implement realistic and efficient spatial, individual‐based simulations and avoid common pitfalls. We explore how mating, reproduction, density‐dependent feedback, dispersal, spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and natural selection affect population dynamics and ...

Baroreceptor control of heart rate in the conscious toad Bufo marinus

, 1981
Perivascular balloons were used to elicit heart rate (HR) responses to imposed changes in mean arterial pressure (Pa) in conscious unrestrained toads (Bufo marinus).
