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.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

From foraging to decomposition: Large vertebrates as biotic drivers of trace element cycling across landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We highlight an overlooked pathway in ecosystem functioning: the role of animal carcass decomposition in trace element cycling. By linking animal life cycles to landscape‐scale processes, we explain how large animals redistribute scarce elements and influence spatial heterogeneity, with implications for ecosystem functioning and restoration.

Elements on the move: How ungulate migration expands Alpine biogeochemical footprints

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using a spatially explicit model parameterized with GPS telemetry, we show that migratory and resident red deer play distinct roles in nitrogen redistribution across alpine landscapes. Migrants uniquely transport nitrogen upslope and up elevation, linking ecosystem element pools and revealing how the loss of migration alters large‐scale ecosystem ...

Weathering the storm: Most maternal and environmental drivers of individual reproductive success do not scale up to population recruitment in a large herbivore

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using 18 years of data on eastern grey kangaroos, we show that drivers of individual reproductive success often do not scale up to population recruitment. Birth asynchrony could buffer population recruitment against environmental variability, such that variables affecting individual reproduction have little impact at the population level.
