Morphotype Bias, Morph Specific Recruitment and No Elevation‐Life History Relation in High Altitude Mesquite Lizard Populations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Site‐level differences in population growth (λ) and phenotype frequencies. Mountain silhouettes represent the three study sites. Morph relative abundances are shown in the colored vertical bar. Point estimates and confidence intervals of λ for each site are displayed below, with the dashed line marking the threshold for demographic stability (λ = 1 ...

Parasites at the Summit: Unexpected Geographic Distribution of the Blood Parasite Lineage Found in the Endangered Giant Lizard of Tenerife

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Early‐Life Telomere Length Negatively Covaries With Brood Size and Father Age, and Predicts Long‐Term Survival in Male Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In barn swallows, nestlings raised in larger broods or by older social fathers have shorter telomeres, and those with longer telomeres tend to live longer, suggesting that early‐life conditions may shape individual lifespan through telomere dynamics. ABSTRACT Parental decisions on breeding, such as brood size and timing of reproduction, influence the ...

Beyond Manoeuvre Theory for European Defence

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article contributes to the debate about European defence in the light of the Russo‐Ukraine war and growing doubts about US commitment to Europe. It argues that Europeans need to fundamentally relearn the ability to imagine military strategy from a European viewpoint.

Sailing Through Time: Building Pacific Maritime Resilience

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the Pacific Blue Shipping Partnership (PBSP), an ambitious initiative aimed at decarbonising maritime transport across Oceania. The study explores the cultural, historical and technological aspects of wind‐propelled shipping in the Pacific.

How Do Forward‐Looking Estimates of Credit Losses Affect the Judgments of Financial Statement Users? Comment les estimations prospectives des pertes sur créances influencent‐elles les jugements des utilisateurs des états financiers?

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Financial accounting standard setters recently changed the accounting for estimates involving credit risk. The change shifted the accounting from an incurred‐loss model (ILM), which is based on credit‐risk conditions that exist at the time of the estimate, to a model based on expected credit losses over the life of the asset in question (ELM),

A method to estimate actual infrastructure‐induced mortality by integrating hierarchical sources of imperfect detection

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Human infrastructures are among the most impactful wildlife threats. Although estimates of animal mortality by these structures exist over a given period, they typically do not account for several levels of imperfect detection (i.e. difference between recorded and true mortality).

Spatially realistic dynamic N‐mixture models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Dispersal is a complex ecological process that can be driven by the abiotic environment, density‐dependent processes and species mobility. Traditionally, dispersal has been studied with capture‐based data that are often limited in space and time. More recently, spatial dynamic N‐mixture models (i.e.

Potential vs. Realized Large Carnivore Density: The Influence of Livestock on Carnivore Carrying Capacity Estimation

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...
