Implementing Sustainable Talent Management in a Mission‐Driven SME: The Roles of Organizational Signaling and Managerial Agency

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to triple‐bottom‐line sustainability challenges facing the global business environment, organizations increasingly incorporate sustainability principles into their HRM practices, including talent management (TM). This becomes especially challenging for small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs).

Ecological role of vertebrate scavengers in urban ecosystems in the UK

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Recent research has demonstrated how scavenging, the act of consuming dead animals, plays a key role in ecosystem structure, functioning, and stability.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

A dead giveaway: Foraging vultures and other avian scavengers respond to auditory cues

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Carrion represents an unpredictable and widely distributed primary food source for vultures and other avian scavengers. Avian scavengers in African savanna ecosystems are reported to rely exclusively on visual stimuli to locate carcasses.

Fear or feast: small mammal activity increases in the presence of carcasses despite increased threat of predation by black‐backed jackals

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Food acquisition is arguably the most important, and among the riskiest behaviours for most mammals. Carcasses are an ephemeral resource for many scavengers, particularly black‐backed jackals Lupulella mesomelas that prey on small mammals. Landscape of fear theory suggests that prey species should reduce their activity in areas of high predator ...

A literature‐based framework for anticipating golden jackal Canis aureus colonisation: insights from Europe and a Swiss case study

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challenges for newly colonised regions. With the arrival of a new species, potential effects on local animal communities, hunting, livestock husbandry or the ...

Carrion consumption by Dasyprocta leporina (RODENTIA: DASYPROCTIDAE) and a review of meat use by agoutis

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The consumption of the carrion of a tapiti by a reintroduced female Dasyprocta leporina was observed in the wild. Herein, besides describing this event, we reviewed other evidence of vertebrate consumption by agoutis.

Isotopic evidence for the consumption of Galliformes by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in rural southern England

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic resource subsidies can drive mesopredator population growth, altering predator–prey dynamics. The red fox Vulpes vulpes is a generalist canid that can readily exploit such subsidies. In the UK, tens of millions of pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa are released annually for sport shooting, potentially ...

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...
