The prospects of poop: a review of past achievements and future possibilities in faecal isotope analysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2091-2113, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT What can the stable isotope values of human and animal faeces tell us? This often under‐appreciated waste product is gaining recognition across a variety of disciplines. Faecal isotopes provide a means of monitoring diet, resource partitioning, landscape use, tracking nutrient inputs and cycling, and reconstructing past climate and environment.

Functional connectivity in replicated urban landscapes in the land snail (Cornu aspersum) [PDF]

Molecular Ecology, 2018
AbstractUrban areas are highly fragmented and thereby exert strong constraints on individual dispersal. Despite this, some species manage to persist in urban areas, such as the garden snail, Cornu aspersum, which is common in cityscapes despite its low mobility.

Dispersers are more likely to follow mucus trails in the land snail Cornu aspersum [PDF]

The Science of Nature, 2018
Abstract Dispersal, i.e. movement leading to gene flow, is a fundamental although costly life history trait. The use of indirect social information may help mitigate these costs, yet in many cases little is known about the proximate sources of such information, and how dispersers and residents may differ in their ...
