Identifying Priority Habitats for Dung Beetle Conservation: Taxonomic and Functional Responses Across a Land‐Use Disturbance Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Anthropogenic land‐use change and resource exploitation are driving declines in dung beetle communities, highlighting the need to identify priority habitats and species for conservation. This study assessed taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles across a land‐use disturbance gradient and different dung types using dung‐baited pitfall traps.

Spatial variation in local population dynamics of sika deer, Cervus nippon, through intensified management

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 7, September 2025.
We analyzed sika deer density trends over 27 years in 256 mesh‐units in Hokkaido, Japan. High‐density areas saw sharp declines, while low‐density areas remained stable. Prioritizing management in high‐density areas can improve overall control efficiency. Abstract Population reduction through hunting and nuisance control has been practiced in many parts

Challenges of measuring body temperatures of free-ranging birds and mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter in physiological, behavioural and ecological research.
