Asymmetric species turnover underpins the latitudinal diversity gradient in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot of India

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs), namely an increase in species richness from higher to lower latitudes, are one of ecology's best documented patterns, yet how the fundamental components of compositional mismatches (i.e. species gains and losses along a gradient) explain these patterns remains poorly understood.

Beyond Prediction: Data, Baselines, Explanation, and Causation in Machine Learning for Food Insecurity

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The gains from machine learning in nowcasting and forecasting food insecurity are still small and limited and cannot be observed in all countries. This review summarizes the public resources for data, corrects common misconceptions about model requirements, and establishes baseline requirements, explanations, causal inference, and equity in operational

亲代抚育导致具有隐蔽巢的雀形目鸟类巢捕食率升高

open access: yesWildlife Letters
Nest predation critically influences avian reproduction, with concealed nests typically assumed to be safer from nest predators. However, the expected positive relationship between nest concealment and survival has not been consistently observed across ...

Burrow use by Saharan striped polecat (Poecilictis libyca) in an agricultural area of central Tunisia

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

Predation of eggs and incubating females in willow ptarmigan Lagopus l. lagopus

open access: yesFauna Norvegica
Nest predation is a major cause of reproductive loss in many ground-nesting birds. During 15 consecutive years the predation of nests and females throughout the incubation season were recorded in a willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

The Seasonal Dynamics of Artificial Nest Predation Rates along Edges in a Mosaic Managed Reedbed.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Boundaries between different habitats can be responsible for changes in species interactions, including modified rates of encounter between predators and prey.

Recovery of southern mountain caribou habitat following wildfire in Ulkatcho territory, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Caribou forage lichens were present in post‐burn lodgepole pine stands multiple decades before stem‐density was likely open enough to attract wintering caribou. We posit that the prolonged self‐thinning of lodgepole pine after fire may be a greater limiting factor than lichen abundance for habitat recovery in lodgepole pine forests.

Nest predation rates and nest detectability in different stages of breeding in Blackbirds Turdus merula

open access: yes, 1997
Nest predation in relation to nestling noise and nest conspicuousness was investigated in Blackbirds. In one year there was no temporal variation in nest predation or significant variation in nest predation rates due to nest conspicuousness.
