Dynamic riskscapes for prey: disentangling the impact of human and cougar presence on deer behavior using GPS smartphone locations

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Prey species adjust their behavior along human‐use gradients by balancing risks from predators and humans. During hunting seasons, prey often exhibit strong antipredator responses to humans but may develop tolerance in suburban areas to exploit human‐mediated resources.

Predicting global intraspecific trait variation of grasses

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Plant traits are important for understanding community assembly and ecosystem processes, yet our understanding of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is limited. This gap in our knowledge is partially because collecting trait data across a species' entire range is impractical, let alone across the ranges of multiple species within a plant family. Using

The division of food space among mammalian species on biomes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' ecological partitioning functions across biomes is fundamental to macroecology and conservation biology. Here, we examine the global distribution of dietary strategies in terrestrial mammals, focusing on how biome specialization modulates trophic diversity and structure at a broad geographical scale.

Unraveling the role of environmental and anthropogenic drivers in shaping global patterns in mammal diversity

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Patterns in functional and phylogenetic diversity reflect ecological and evolutionary relationships among taxa, and thus can offer key insights into the mechanisms underlying species distributions. However, disentangling the relative influence of proximate environmental drivers versus biogeographic evolutionary history can be a challenge.
