Behavior Change Projects in Zoological Collections: Application of the Behavior Change Wheel

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Projects identified from zoo websites and their initial categorization. ABSTRACT Human behavior change is needed to stop the triple planetary crisis. Zoos reach millions of people every year and there is evidence available that people do change their behavior because of zoo led interventions.

Behavioral Patterns of Zoo‐housed Lowland (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus), With a Focus on Sleeping Behavior

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A behavioral study of the nocturnal activity budget and rhythmicity reveals the relationship between lying cycle (LC) duration and time spent in the REM‐sleep posture (“lying – head down”, LHD) in zoo‐housed Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus). ABSTRACT To ensure and optimize husbandry conditions, zoo management and

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Determinants of Seasonal Elephant Habitat Use in Small and Enclosed Conservation Area: Mwea National Reserve, Kenya. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigated the drivers of seasonal habitat use by African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the fenced Mwea National Reserve, using dung‐based surveys and MaxEnt models. Results showed that water and forage availability primarily shaped dry‐season distribution, while boundary effects were more influential in the wet season, with ...

Wild large herbivores promote plant diversity and functional redundancy by reducing dominance

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Large herbivores can strongly shape plant communities, yet studies report contrasting effects on species richness, and how they affect plant functional diversity remains largely unknown.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
