Radiographic Screening of Wild and Semi‐Wild Cape Ground Squirrels (Geosciurus inauris) for the Presence of Peri‐Apical Masses Associated With Elodont Incisor Teeth

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Peri‐apical masses were absent in both wild and semi‐wild Cape ground squirrels, despite dietary differences and minor incisor trauma. These findings suggest such lesions are rare outside captivity and not induced by low‐fiber diets alone, adding to the literature on environmental and dietary risk factors in elodont tooth pathology.

Alternative seed trait strategies are linked to a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal allows plants to seek favourable conditions or spread the risk of unfavourable conditions through space and time. While theory predicts a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal, empirical tests have been stymied by the difficulty of measuring ...

The oxygen and pressure physiology of upper elevational range limits in insects

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is widely expected to cause montane insects to shift upslope, and there is good evidence that some populations are doing so. Nevertheless, patterns are mixed—with evidence supporting upslope, downslope or even no movement of both lower and upper range ...

The ‘big houses‐big cars dilemma’: How do we reconcile the prevalence of positive correlations among life history traits?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Life history theory assumes that there are negative correlations among different components of the life history—investing more in reproduction now means taking resources away from growth, maintenance or the ability to reproduce in the future.

Boldness and niche width structure spatial interactions in a natural rodent community

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that individual behavioural differences (boldness) structure spatial encounter patterns within a natural multi‐species community. By linking personality to space use and interaction structure, our study demonstrates how intraspecific variation can scale up to shape community‐level processes.
