Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

A systematic review of the agents and factors influencing California sea lion health
Frontiers in Marine ScienceMarine ecosystems are increasingly affected by climate-driven disturbances such as sea-level rise, marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, and pollution. Monitoring sentinel species is essential for detecting long-term environmental changes and informing ...

The First World War at Sea: Death, Commemoration and Cultural Remembrance
History, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the ever‐increasing body of work devoted to war memorials, national days of remembrance and the commemoration of the First World War in Britain, academic focus remains firmly on the commemoration of the First World War on land. Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...

Head-mounted accelerometry accurately detects prey capture in California sea lions
Animal Biotelemetry, 2021 Detecting when and where animals feed is key to understanding their ecophysiology, but our ability to collect these data in marine mammals remains limited.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Human Recreation and Fire History Shape Landscape Connectivity for an Endangered Forest Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Roads and trails can impede wildlife movement, but their permeability varies with human use and fire history. We combined GPS telemetry from 45 endangered southern Sierra Nevada fishers (Pekania pennanti) with smartphone‐derived human mobility data to estimate crossing probability across road and trail segments. Fishers were about 2.5 times more likely
