Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

Hunting and fishing harvest data collection: a horizon scanning exercise from the French context

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Legal and societal moves increasingly lead leisure hunting and fishing practitioners to record their harvest. The total number of individuals harvested per population per year is the minimum required information to feed into demographic models and allow science‐based management. Some few schemes record more detailed data, hence allowing better‐informed

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

Effects of Simulated Dusk and Dawn on Activity and Feeding of Puerto Rican Crested Toads (Peltophryne lemur) in Captivity

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Puerto Rican crested toads (Peltophryne lemur) that were provided with dim night lights to simulate a natural dusk and dawn moved more frequently than those kept in complete darkness at night. Toads moved more at dusk and dawn than in the middle of the night. ABSTRACT Night light may affect captive amphibians in alternative ways. Captive amphibians may

The energetic consequences of oxygen fluxes in a coral reef fish

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ocean warming elevates metabolic rates in marine ectotherms but often constrains energetic resources, causing an imbalance between supply and demand. Transient hypoxia is near‐ubiquitous across the world's coral reefs and may exacerbate this imbalance, yet its effects on the energetics of reef fishes remain poorly understood. In this study, we
