Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Rodent Species Habitats in the Ordos Desert Steppe, China
AnimalsClimate change is driving the restructuring of global biological communities. As a species sensitive to climate change, studying the response of small rodents to climate change is helpful to indirectly understand the changes in ecology and biodiversity ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The recovery of wolf populations across Europe has reignited human–wildlife conflicts, particularly in countries such as Austria, where wolves have been absent for more than a century. Livestock depredation remains one of the primary sources of tension, and effective management requires a solid spatial basis for planning.

Challenges in identifying sites climatically matched to the native ranges of animal invaders. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Species distribution models are often used to characterize a species' native range climate, so as to identify sites elsewhere in the world that may be climatically similar and therefore at risk of invasion by the species.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Human‐caused leopard deaths in Sri Lanka averaged 9.65 ± 4.5 records year−1 over 17 years (2008–2024; n = 164), with records highly clustered in the central highland mosaic ecosystem. Mortality was dominated by adult males and driven primarily by snaring in plantation landscapes, and indicating an increase approximately 0.7–0.8 deaths per year.

Mangrove Growth Suitability Based on an Improved MaxEnt Model: Cases from Gaoqiao and Qi’ao Island
Redai diliMangrove ecosystems deliver disproportionate ecological and socioeconomic benefits to coastal zones. However, assessments of the habitat suitability of mangroves seldom explicitly account for anthropogenic pressures.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.
