Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that environmental filtering is the primary mechanism shaping bat communities across the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone. By integrating phylogenetic diversity, environmental gradients, and coevolutionary assembly models, our study provides new insights into the processes maintaining biodiversity in a globally important transition zone ...

Weathering the storm: Most maternal and environmental drivers of individual reproductive success do not scale up to population recruitment in a large herbivore

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using 18 years of data on eastern grey kangaroos, we show that drivers of individual reproductive success often do not scale up to population recruitment. Birth asynchrony could buffer population recruitment against environmental variability, such that variables affecting individual reproduction have little impact at the population level.
