Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Species traits mediate the abundant‐center patterns in ground‐dwelling mammal and bird species in China

Ecography, EarlyView.
The abundance center hypothesis (ACH) posits that species abundance peaks at distribution centers; however, empirical support remains inconsistent. This study tested the generality of the ACH and investigated species traits as mediators of abundance–distance relationships.

Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...

Perception Toward Wolves Are Driven by Economic Status and Religion Across Their Distribution Range

Animals
Effective conservation of large mammals depends on how people perceive them. Grey wolves have a widespread distribution globally, and their recent recolonization of human-dominated landscapes offers an excellent opportunity to understand the ...

A 2 year retrospective study of vegan patients and their pregnancy outcomes in a tertiary level Irish hospital

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent previous studies have revealed outcomes of higher risk of low birth weight, small for gestational age, and pre‐eclampsia for vegan pregnant women compared to other diets. This review examined if patients with vegan diet in our tertiary hospital had similar outcomes.
