The interacting effects of precipitation and microhabitat on non‐native seed predation are contingent on temporal dynamics

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how different drivers of global change interact to shape ecological processes remains a major challenge in ecology. Climate change is reshuffling the interactions that structure communities, with major implications for biological invasions.

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Availability of a Keystone Plant Resource Reduces Niche Overlap and Drives Distinct Species‐Specific Changes in Niche Breadth Among Small Rodents

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

The record of cricetid rodents across the Eocene–Oligocene transition in Transylvania, Romania: implications for the “Grande Coupure” at European scale

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
A number of localities in Transylvania (Romania) have yielded vertebrate microfossil remains. Two localities have been stratigraphically and biochronologically dated to the late Eocene: i.e., Treznea and Bociu. The remaining three localities are dated to

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.
