Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

Urban Environments Impact Parasite Diversity and an Antipredator Response in an Amphibian Model

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urbanization reshapes parasite–host interactions in the amphibian Pelophylax perezi, increasing blood parasite diversity and Lankesterella loads under higher anthropogenic pressure. Urban frogs also show longer flight initiation distances and tibiofibulae, indicating altered antipredator strategies.

Behavior‐Based Rodent Management: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Opportunities

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Management of rodent pests often relies upon their decisions about whether or not to interact with management tools such as baits and traps. These decisions are shaped by behavioral motivations that can vary with environmental context, over time, and between individuals, which provide both challenges and opportunities for control.

Dorsal Crypsis and Chemical Defense Jointly Shape Brain Size in Toads

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that total brain size and dorsal crypsis under both ultraviolet‐sensitive (UVS) and violet‐sensitive (VS) tetrachromatic bird visual models were negatively associated across eight species of toads. Our findings suggest that when species reduce predation risk by evolving increased dorsal crypsis, they may exhibit decreased brain size due to ...
