Forest and fire drive moose (deníe) detections near their northern range limit
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.One way to understand species range shifts in response to anthropogenic climate change is to study populations living at the limit of climate and resource suitability. Moose Alces alces (deníe in Dënesųłıné) generally require forest–wetland landscape complexes but are increasingly seen across the forest–tundra transition at their northern range limit ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.By comparing widespread surveys with randomly placed cameras to a protocol pairing detection dogs with cameras, we found that the detection‐dog‐guided camera survey had approximately 33 times greater detections with fewer camera nights and reduced survey costs. We recommend using detection dogs to identify areas to focus camera trapping. ABSTRACT Multi‐

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The intensity, frequency and severity of drought events are projected to increase in the Mediterranean region under ongoing climate change. This may impact plant growth and survival in Mediterranean forests leading to altered ecosystem dynamics. The functional diversity

Improved use of deep soil water promotes radial growth during drought
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Increasingly frequent seasonal droughts under rapid climate change threaten the growth stability of subtropical mixed forests across the mid‐subtropical monsoon region.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is driving shrub encroachment and treeline advance in the Arctic, increasing inputs of plant‐derived carbon (C) to soil. These inputs could enhance or reduce microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) (‘priming’), affecting the soil C balance ...

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.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
