Uncovering the Process of Sexual Segregation: Male Early‐Life Individual Tactics Shape Its Onset and Affect Phenotypic Quality in a Large Mammal

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Early‐life traits significantly influence sexual segregation patterns and phenotypic quality in male fallow deer. Males in better condition and those more risk‐prone left natal groups earlier with fewer returns to natal groups. However, males with frequent excursions back to natal groups compensated for initial body condition disadvantages.

Power Transition and Pragmatic Adaptation: Iran's Strategic Approach to China, Russia and the GCC

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.

Using thematic qualitative content analysis of approximately 70 documents from Iranian state official, advisory and academic institutions (2015–2025), it reveals that Iran's eastward ...

A novel generalized spatial mark‐resight model that accounts for group associations

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The number and distribution of animals in space form the basis of many wildlife studies. Yet, reliable estimation of population abundance remains challenging. Generalized spatial mark‐resight (gSMR) models are widely applicable abundance estimators that do not require all individuals be uniquely identifiable.

Using Periodic Matrix Models to Simulate the Effectiveness of Alternative Reintroduction Strategies for Lizards on a Seasonal Tropical Island

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Guam's lizard fauna has been devastated by the invasive brown treesnake, but recent advances in brown treesnake control have opened the possibility of reintroducing native lizards. We simulated different strategies for reintroducing lizards to Guam, comparing the timing and age‐structure of releases.
