, 2016 Granivorous rodent populations in deserts are primarily regulated through precipitation-driven resource pulses rather than pulses associated with mast-seeding, a pattern more common in mesic habitats.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding an organism's shifting resource needs throughout its life cycle is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. Northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus populations have been declining for nearly a century due largely to habitat loss/degradation.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Regeneration Strategies in Seed Plants: A Continuum Shaping Survival
Ecology and EvolutionSeed plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in part because regeneration is not a single event, but a coordinated sequence of traits acting across time and space.
