Evaluation of the Sex and Species Distribution, Breeding, and Life Expectancy of Zoo‐Housed Chameleons

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than a third of the 202 identified chameleon species are classified as “vulnerable” or “critically endangered”. No data is available regarding the life expectancy of chameleons kept in zoos. The objectives of this study were to determine the sex and species distribution of chameleons kept in zoological institutions, and to assess their ...

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.

Targeted behavioural and microclimate data collection substantially improves biophysical model predictions of energy expenditure in wild birds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Energy is fundamental for life and accurately predicting animals' energy expenditure under changing environments is central to ecology and global change biology. Energy expenditure in free‐living animals can be directly quantified using the doubly labelled water (DLW ...

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.

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

High thermal plasticity, low heritability and constant directional selection on breeding phenology in a viviparous ectotherm

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our findings reveal that breeding phenology of the common lizard is shaped by strong thermal plasticity, body size effects, constant selection for earlier parturition, but low heritability. This suggests that phenological responses to climate change in this species, and likely in other squamates, will predominantly arise through plastic rather than ...

Fragmented and Dealigned: The 2024 British General Election and the Rise of Place‐Based Politics

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 13-25, January/March 2025.
Abstract While the outcome of the 2024 British general election signalled a resounding repudiation of the incumbent government—returning a 231‐seat swing from the Conservatives to Labour—it did not radically overturn the geography of electoral outcomes in England and Wales.

The Not‐So‐Neue Frau: Weimar Berlin's Modern Women and Generational Identity After 1945

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article studies the post‐1945 literary careers of Gabriele Tergit and Ilse Langner, two ageing German writers. Both had enjoyed promising careers as young women in Weimar Berlin, but Nazism and war disrupted their professional trajectories in varying ways. After 1945, they tried and failed to recapture their Weimar‐era success, eventually
