Foraging niche partitioning within a recently established guild of falcons
Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 3, Page 734-749, July 2025.Ecological theory predicts that coexisting species should exhibit realized niche differentiation to minimize competition. However, little is known about patterns of niche differentiation when ‘newcomer’ species spontaneously colonize a new region, leading to novel sympatric conditions.

Relationship between diet and reproductive success in the Israeli barn owl [PDF]
, 2014 The effect of diet on barn owl (Tyto alba) breeding biology has been well studied in the temperate regions but not in the more arid Middle East. In temperate regions, barn owls are darker colored and mainly prey upon Cricetidae rodents, whereas in arid ...

Effect of Resource Abundance on Woodland Rodents' Demography at Latitudinal Extremes in Europe
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.The study aimed to assess the role of food availability on rodent demography in populations characterised by different dynamics, that is multiannual cycles in Northern European populations and mast‐driven outbreaks in Southern European populations. ABSTRACT Climate change effects on primary productivity are especially evident along altitudinal and ...

Evidence that ebolaviruses and cuevaviruses have been diverging from marburgviruses since the Miocene [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 An understanding of the timescale of evolution is critical for comparative virology but remains elusive for many RNA viruses. Age estimates based on mutation rates can severely underestimate divergences for ancient viral genes that are evolving under ...

The phylogenetic position of the enigmatic Atlantic forest-endemic spiny mouse Abrawayaomys (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) [PDF]
, 2013 Background The phylogenetic position of the sigmodontine genus Abrawayaomys, historically assigned to the tribe Thomasomyini or considered a sigmodontine incertae sedis, was assessed on the basis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences obtained from ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.The North American fur trade fundamentally shifted baselines of furbearing mammals worldwide. Using camera traps and visual surveys, we document unexpected ecological and behavioral characteristics of a population of muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) that was likely introduced to the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire, USA) in the early 1900s.
