Water Use Behavior of Individual Birds: Ring Ouzels in an Arid High‐Mountain Ecosystem
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Water is a limiting resource for birds in arid ecosystems. Individual birds differ strongly in how they use shared water sources, with drinking behavior increasing with temperature. Behavioral differences, hierarchy, and social context ultimately shape unequal access to water within the population. ABSTRACT Water availability strongly constrains animal

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The dog is a valuable model for studying social behavior and neuropsychiatric disease. We generated an ATAC‐seq atlas of 7 brain regions and pituitary from 4 beagles, identifying 251,492 CREs. Integrating dog‐wolf divergence revealed tissue‐specific CREs overlapping divergent loci, including neuronal and neuroendocrine genes.

Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.For diurnal species, nighttime represents a critical ecological boundary. Understanding the ecological determinants of nocturnal activity in taxa traditionally regarded as inactive after dusk is essential for elucidating the adaptive significance of nighttime behavior. We examined how night phase, nocturnal brightness (moon illumination and cloud cover)

Western Balkans as the Frontline of Russian Hybrid Warfare
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hybrid warfare (HW) scholarship acknowledges the phenomenon's contextual and temporal specificity, yet its dominant conceptual framing has generated a literature largely centred on identifying and categorising hybrid activities. This focus has left the contextual vulnerabilities that enable hybrid threats (HTs) and shape an adversary's ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Gestational diabetes in multifetal versus singleton pregnancies: A multicenter cohort study
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.Gestational diabetes in multifetal pregnancies was associated with increased maternal morbidity but less adverse neonatal and long‐term offspring outcomes than in singleton pregnancies, suggesting that current diagnostic thresholds derived from singleton gestations may not fully reflect the unique metabolic and clinical characteristics of multifetal ...
