Accounting for bias in prevalence estimation: The case of a globally emerging pathogen

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 2007-2017, September 2023., 2023
These results highlight the importance of using robust inferences to inform disease risk assessments and to efficiently allocate limited resources during mitigation strategies of infectious diseases. The methods used here can be applied to a wide range of host–pathogen systems, and will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners aiming to ...

Does the loss of diadromy imply the loss of salinity tolerance? A gene expression study with replicate nondiadromous populations of Galaxias maculatus

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 2219-2233, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The recurrent colonization of freshwater habitats and subsequent loss of diadromy is a major ecological transition that has been reported in many ancestrally diadromous fishes. Such residency is often accompanied by a loss of tolerance to seawater.

Large‐scale movement patterns in a social vulture are influenced by seasonality, sex, and breeding region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Griffon vulture home‐range sizes and home‐range fidelity are affected by seasonality, sex, and breeding region. Vultures tend to move more during spring and summer, and females showed higher home‐range sizes than males, but lower home‐range fidelity.

Short‐distance nocturnal migration in an island endemic bustard

Ibis, Volume 164, Issue 4, Page 1145-1159, October 2022., 2022
Migratory birds typically fly long distances in response to large‐scale seasonal climate variation. However, most migratory species are partial migrants, and some fly only short distances, for example to take advantage of suitable feeding conditions during the non‐breeding season.
