Field size as a determinant of common vole population density
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Population densities of the common vole, an agricultural pest, increase nonlinearly with forage field size, especially in fields below 20 ha. Reducing the field size may help limit crop damage in farmland. Abstract BACKGROUND Environmental heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes is a key driver of biodiversity and ecological processes, yet its role in

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Impact of Sorting and Catch Media on Porcine Sperm Motility, Capacitation, and Viability
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) has emerged as a powerful tool for selecting spermatozoa of a desired population of fluorescent biomarkers, offering potential applications in reproductive biology and agriculture. However, concerns remain regarding sorting‐induced physiological alterations that could compromise spermatozoa
