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.

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Seasonal Gut Microbiome Variation Associated With Both Climate and Wildlife Tourism in Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We provide an early description of the gut microbiome of wild, free‐ranging Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon data from 123 fecal samples collected across 6 months in two Sri Lankan national parks, we found that gut microbiome composition varied significantly by sampling month and, to a lesser extent, by park.
