Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many small endotherms employ torpor as a survival strategy to reduce energy expenditure during periods with low food availability and cold temperatures. The expression and physiology of torpor can vary substantially within species because of phenotypic plasticity and ...

Fisher-based assessments of sea turtle bycatch in small-scale fisheries in Pacific Mexico
Endangered Species ResearchReducing bycatch of sea turtles and other protected species in artisanal fisheries depends on first understanding where, how, and to what extent bycatch is occurring. We implemented rapid bycatch assessments (RBAs)—i.e.
