Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...

Community‐ and species‐level responses of reptiles to an avian ecosystem engineer

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Reptiles in southern Africa's Kalahari desert occur at higher abundances and greater species richness under trees with sociable weaver colonies, than those without. This finding substantially expands our knowledge of how commonly reptile communities might respond to ecosystem engineers.

Year‐round colony‐level differences in foraging behaviour and diel activity of yellow‐legged gulls from natural and urban colonies

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
GPS‐tracked yellow‐legged gulls from urban (Porto) and natural (Berlenga) colonies showed contrasting foraging strategies. Urban gulls remained near cities and followed human routines, while natural gulls foraged farther and used marine habitats. Abstract Urbanisation has led to increased populations of opportunistic species like gulls, driven by the ...

Hedgehog Pillows and Squirrel Plates: Priming Semantic Structure in Children's Comprehension

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract We report three expression–picture‐matching experiments targeting preschoolers’ semantic processing. We assessed whether 3‐ and 4‐year‐olds’ interpretations of ambiguous novel noun–noun combinations (e.g., hedgehog pillow) were affected by immediate language experience and what role lexical items played in this process.

Rearing duration influences survival rate in the Post‐Larval Capture, Culture and Release of a coral reef fish

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Juvenile coral reef fish face an initial predation‐induced mortality bottleneck with mortality exceeding 60% within 48 hours of settlement. This intense predation, exacerbated by anthropogenic stressors, limits recruitment and contributes to global declines of reef fish populations. Post‐Larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR),
