Wolf risk fails to inspire fear in two mesocarnivores suggesting facilitation prevails
Scientific Reports, 2022 Large carnivores not only supress mesocarnivores via killing and instilling fear, but also facilitate them through carrion provisioning. Hence, mesocarnivores frequently face a trade-off between risk avoidance and food acquisition.

Decadal decline in maternal body condition of a Southern Ocean capital breeder
Scientific Reports, 2023 The changing physical properties of the Southern Ocean are known to impact the recruitment and survival of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). For oceanic krill predators, the resulting reduced energy intake may lead to population-level effects likely ...

Marked decline in forest-dependent small mammals following habitat loss and fragmentation in an Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]
, 2020 Agricultural frontier expansion into the Amazon over the last four decades has created million hectares of fragmented forests. While many species undergo local extinctions within remaining forest patches, this may be compensated by native species from ...

Body Temperature Frequency Distributions: A Tool for Assessing Thermal Performance in Endotherms?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 There is increasing recognition that rather than being fully homeothermic, most endotherms display some degree of flexibility in body temperature. However, the degree to which this occurs varies widely from the relatively strict homeothermy in species ...

Linking spatial patterns of terrestrial herbivore community structure to trophic interactions
eLife, 2019 Large herbivores influence ecosystem functioning via their effects on vegetation at different spatial scales. It is often overlooked that the spatial distribution of large herbivores results from their responses to interacting top-down and bottom-up ...
