Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Sympatric bat species can co‐exist and avoid interspecific competition via niche differentiation e.g. diet. Detecting dietary differences can be achieved by comparing dietary niches of sympatric and allopatric populations. If dietary overlap is higher in sympatry versus allopatry, co‐occurrence may be altering the dietary niche of the species.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Our study reveals that brook charr adopt distinct ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ behavioural tactics to balance foraging and thermal stress in stratified lakes. By linking fine‐scale thermal movements to morphology, we show how temperature‐driven habitat use promotes individual specialization and potential ecotypic divergence under climate change.

A global estimator of C and N isotope baselines for fresh waters
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Baselines are the pebbles in the shoes of isotope ecologists. The extreme variability of the isotope composition of resources at the base of food webs governs the spatial differences of consumers' isotope composition, so that isotope‐inferred trophic properties can be compared across ecosystems only after correction for baseline effects ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Temperature dictates the performance of aquatic ectotherms. However, the physiological and biochemical processes that drive thermally-mediated life history patterns (and limits) remain poorly understood because they are rarely studied simultaneously.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

The Genetic and Morphological Basis of Local Adaptation to Elevational Extremes in an Alpine Finch
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated morphological and genetic variation in the Sierra Nevada Gray‐crowned Rosy Finch to identify traits important for local adaptation in alpine environments. By combining trait measurements with genome‐wide analyses, we uncovered loci linked to thermoregulation, altitude adaptation, and cold tolerance.

Research on Three‐Dimensional Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance Path Planning Methods for UAVs
Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.This study presents a three‐dimensional autonomous obstacle‐avoidance path planning method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)‐enhanced Mayfly Algorithm. The traditional Mayfly Algorithm suffers from issues such as random initial population generation and slow convergence.

Environmental Advances, 2023 Ecological impacts of chemicals such as metal mixtures in the field are predicted by one of two approaches: component-based and whole-mixture approaches. Knowledge about how to relate results of these approaches to field effect levels is limited.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Many species rely on temporally autocorrelated environmental cues that are predictive of conditions favorable to offspring survival to initiate reproduction. Climate change can cause cues to become unreliable, creating an evolutionary trap. Mesocosm raceway experiments were used to quantify the influences of stream physical and biotic factors and ...
