Our results indicate that local news, such as announcements from the New Zealand Central Bank interest rate changes (official cash rate) and company earnings reports, generally has a greater impact than international news. However, U.S. Federal Open Market Committee

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Simultaneous detection of gradual and abrupt structural changes in Bayesian longitudinal modelling using entropy and model fit measures

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although individuals may exhibit both gradual and abrupt changes in their dynamic properties as shaped by both slowly accumulating influences and acute events, existing statistical frameworks offer limited capacity for the simultaneous detection and representation of these distinct change patterns.

Effectiveness of territorial protection categories in conserving an endemic island bird during population fluctuation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an

Colour Polymorphism in Coconut Crabs Is Under Relaxed Selection From Conspecifics?

Ethology, EarlyView.
Coconut crabs are either red or blue irrespective of age or sex, are nocturnal and have very few predators. This experimental study shows that they do not use conspecific's colour but do use relative size to settle competitive interactions over food in the wild.

Breeding in natural nesting sites can improve the resilience of local Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) populations to environmental changes

Ibis, EarlyView.
The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...
