Zoo Biology, EarlyView.We distributed a survey to global institutions housing bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) to collect data on factors which may affect litter survival. Information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and studbook records supplemented this dataset. We found that within northern temperate regions, the number of pups reared to the age of 1

Seed dormancy explains plant response to mass mortality events
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are large‐scale, rapid die‐offs resulting in extreme inputs of carrion biomass. Recent work demonstrates the effects of increasing carrion biomass on plant communities modulated by vertebrate scavengers and herbivores.

Behavioral responses of coyotes to the CLOD in familiar and unfamiliar environments [PDF]
, 1990 The Coyote Lure Operative Device (CLOD) is designed to deliver a variety of substances to coyotes. Field evaluations have demonstrated free-ranging coyotes will activate CLODs, but little is known about coyote behavior when encountering the device in ...

To stay or to roam? Behavioural type influences trade‐offs in male wild turkey survival
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals develop familiarity with specific areas through repeated use, gaining detailed knowledge of local conditions, such as food availability, predator presence, and landscape features, which can directly impact fitness.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Should you use data integration for your distribution model?
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This paper explores cases where data integration (the joint modelling of two or more observational datasets) is useful for species distribution models, and also highlights cases where it's actually not useful. This provides the first concrete guidance for deciding whether or not data integration is worth your time.

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Eastern Coyote Vs. Western Coyote [9 Differences]
, 2023 Are you curious to know the differences between eastern and western coyotes? This article explores nine key distinctions between these two species. Eastern coyotes tend to be larger, measuring 4 to 5 feet and weighing 30 to 50 pounds, while western coyotes are slightly smaller, measuring around 3.3 to 4.3 feet and weighing 20 to 30 pounds.
