The temporal environmental correlates of spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) encounters with livestock enclosures: Insights from central Kenya

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We studied spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) encounters with livestock enclosures, an important but understudied stage of the livestock depredation process. Using camera traps, we examined how encounter probability and timing varied with rainfall, moonlight, and temperature. Our findings deepen our understanding of hyena behavior around livestock and may

Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of variation in nest predation of ground‐nesting birds

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Predation and communities of predators of ground‐nesting bird nests and fledglings have been studied across multiple groups of ground‐nesting birds, such as waders, waterbirds, gamebirds and passerines, and habitats, but differences and similarities between groups are less studied.

The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Evolution of Dermatophytic Fungi: Anthropogenic and Biogenic Environmental Factors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change presents new challenges to dermatologic care, ranging from anthropogenic factors, such as pollution that select for extremotolerant and potentially antifungal‐resistant fungi, to biogenic factors that can drive zoonotic outbreaks, which have received increased attention since the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic.
