Diversity, 2019 Land use and landcover change alter the ability of habitat networks to maintain viable species populations. While their effects on the quality, amount and patterns of landcover patches are commonly studied, how they affect ecological processes, such as ...

Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.

New Caledonian Crows and Hidden Causal Agents Revisited
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2021 A previous experiment suggested that New Caledonian crows (Corvus moneduloides; henceforth NCCs) can reason about hidden causal agents (Taylor et al., 2012).

Dormant Comets Among the Near-Earth Object Population: A Meteor-Based Survey
, 2016 Dormant comets in the near-Earth object (NEO) population are thought to be involved in the terrestrial accretion of water and organic materials. Identification of dormant comets is difficult as they are observationally indistinguishable from their ...

Did tool-use evolve with enhanced physical cognitive abilities? [PDF]
, 2013 The use and manufacture of tools have been considered to be cognitively demanding and thus a possible driving factor in the evolution of intelligence.

Ibis, EarlyView.Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Corvid Cognition: Something to Crow About? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 New research indicates that crows are capable of matching stimuli on the basis of analogical relations: that is, similarity of size, color and shape. This may be the first evidence for spontaneous analogical reasoning outside of the primate order.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
