Sources of Eustress in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Zoo environments foster enhanced animal welfare, integrated conservation, and improved population sustainability through the provision of eustressful factors (e.g., enrichment, social choice, positive human‐animal relationships), thus promoting cognitive challenge, improved resilience, and positive life experiences.

The oxygen and pressure physiology of upper elevational range limits in insects

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is widely expected to cause montane insects to shift upslope, and there is good evidence that some populations are doing so. Nevertheless, patterns are mixed—with evidence supporting upslope, downslope or even no movement of both lower and upper range ...

Fungal Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections proliferate during amphibian terrestrial dormancy

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The spread and impact of wildlife pathogens is often seasonal, and identifying the season(s) of highest impact can be critical to biodiversity and public health management.

The ‘big houses‐big cars dilemma’: How do we reconcile the prevalence of positive correlations among life history traits?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Life history theory assumes that there are negative correlations among different components of the life history—investing more in reproduction now means taking resources away from growth, maintenance or the ability to reproduce in the future.

Predicting disease spread from host movement data: Chronic wasting disease in North America as a case study

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper estimates the rate of chronic wasting disease spread in multiple regions and compares these rates with model predictions based on deer movement data. Abstract Rare long‐distance movements can increase the spatial spread of invasive species and shifts in species ranges. For wildlife disease spread, however, seasonal migrations may only matter

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

The consequences of host heterogeneity for parasite transmission depend on how host infectiousness is determined

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...
