True metabolizable energy of moist‐soil seeds among dabbling duck species

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We quantified TMEN for moist‐soil plant seed species (Cyperus erythrorhizos, Cyperus iria, Panicum rigidulum, Polygonum hydropiperoides, Polygonum lapathifolium, Sesbania herbacea) among 3 species of dabbling duck (mallard [Anas platyrhynchos], northern pintail [A. acuta], and green‐winged teal [A. crecca]).

Carbon flow to generalist predators shifts between plant‐ and fungal‐derived resources in highly seasonal ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using amino acid isotope fingerprinting, Sagi et al. show how Arctic wolf spiders shift between plant‐ and microbe‐based energy sources with changes in body size and plant productivity. This reveals how environmental conditions and consumer traits jointly shape carbon flow and link green and brown food webs in rapidly changing ecosystems.

Environmental and human‐related gradients shape the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in a central Amazonian white‐sand Forest

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This novel study examines how environmental and human‐related gradients influence habitat use and the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in Central Amazonian white‐sand forests (campinaranas), one of the naturally rarest and least studied ecosystems in the Amazon region.

Parental death destabilizes wolf packs despite the benefits of larger pack size

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Larger wolf packs were associated with improved demographic performance overall, but these general benefits did not buffer the demographic consequences of parental death. Compared with packs in which both parents survived, packs experiencing parental death were substantially more likely to dissolve and fail reproductively and recruited fewer pups ...

Value in the ‘valley of the shadow of death’—When the user is no longer the value arbiter

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Public Service Logic (PSL) user‐centric perspective on value creation has been one of its main critiques. Scholars argue that for some real‐world applications, such as emergency services, where users cannot engage with service offerings, the PSL must consider the roles of other service actors beyond just facilitators.
