Abundant top predators increase species interaction network complexity in northeastern Chinese forests

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 745-759, April 2025.
Our study reveals how top predators influence mammalian interaction networks by increasing complexity and redistributing interactions through indirect effects. These findings imply the important role of top predators in structuring communities, offering novel insights into the conservation and management of mammal communities in northeastern China ...

Stable isotope analysis reveals individual variations in feeding habits among wild Japanese macaques

open access: yesEcological Research, EarlyView.
In this study, we conducted a dietary analysis using stable isotopes on the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) group on Koshima Island, Japan. As a result, we clarified the variation in isotope ratios at the individual level, and indicated that this variation is affected by attributes such as sex or dominance‐subordinate relationships in this group ...

Abstract Intersectional theory recognises inequity is rarely the result of one social identity; social identities, and their interaction with context and power relations, offer some protective factors, while marginalises others. Taking an intersectional approach to social policy has the potential to provide deeper insights in terms of identifying and ...
