Volatile Compounds in Feathers of the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Reflect Sex and Pair‐Bond Status
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Scarlet macaws exhibit sex‐ and pair‐related differences in plumage volatile composition, with males showing greater chemical richness. Partnered individuals differ in specific compound classes, whereas no clear association with immune function was detected. These results support a potential role for olfactory cues in sexual and social communication in

Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Smoke signals: Measuring wildlife smoke exposure with animal‐borne and stationary sensors
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Wildfires are becoming larger, more frequent and more severe, producing smoke plumes that degrade air quality hundreds of kilometres away and for days to weeks after an active fire. Despite public health and safety concerns regarding wildfire smoke, we know little about how free‐ranging wildlife experience or respond to these exposures.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Microbiome Dynamics During Translocation of the Critically Endangered Frog Craugastor ranoides
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.A female Craugastor ranoides fitted with an LB‐2X radio transmitter using a silicone waist‐belt harness for post‐translocation monitoring. ABSTRACT Amphibian populations are declining, and species are going extinct due to habitat loss, climate change, and emerging infectious disease, prompting the increasing use of translocations as a conservation tool.
