Biomechanical Analysis of Mongolian Bronze and Iron Age Four‐Legged Walking Petroglyphs
Natural Sciences, EarlyView.Top: Photograph (by Krisztián Bécs) of an Iron Age Mongolian rock‐goatpetroglyph. Bottom: ABSTRACT Since the works of Eadweard Muybridge in the 1880s, the characteristics of motion of four‐legged animals are well known for experts of animal locomotion, and the different gaits of many four‐legged species have been investigated in detail.

The impact of gigafire on vegetation structure, terrestrial vertebrate abundance and diel activity
Oikos, EarlyView.Fire regimes are shifting around the world due to climate and land‐use change, resulting in an increased frequency of large and severe wildfires. However, the impact of extreme wildfire events on animal species remains poorly understood. Particularly lacking is an understanding of how fire affects animal behaviour.

Patterns and drivers of range filling of alien mammals in Europe
Oikos, EarlyView.Biological invasions are major drivers of biodiversity change. Alien mammals are particularly concerning in Europe, where their expansion remains unabated, though the driving factors are still unclear. Well‐documented introductions and distributions in this continent provide a unique opportunity to understand how human activities influenced this ...

A timid choice: risk‐taking behavior predicts individualized niche in a varying landscape of safety
Oikos, EarlyView.Individual niche specialization predicts a match between an individual's phenotype and environment. Yet, whether animals achieve this match through phenotypic change (niche conformance) or by selecting the environment (niche choice), remains unexplored.
