The Impact of Whole‐Animal Fluid Preservation on the Observed Gut Microbiome of Vertebrates: Implications for the Use of Museum Specimens in Microbiome Research

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and timescales. The millions of fluid‐preserved specimens stored in natural history museums worldwide represent

Beneath the buzz: Quantifying nest locations and densities of ground‐nesting wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila)

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are important pollinators and essential for maintaining ecosystem health. The majority of bee species are ground‐nesting, and all bees spend most of their lifetime inside the nest. Still, most studies and monitoring schemes assess wild bees during flower visitation, allowing no conclusion about their nest ...

Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...

Living Beyond the Edge: Impacts of Climate Change on Rock Lizards at the Niche Margin

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens ectotherms by disrupting their thermoregulation, pushing populations at the warm edge of their thermal niche towards potential extinction. ABSTRACT Ectotherms are particularly threatened by climate change because they are strictly reliant on environmental conditions for homeostasis.
