Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Sun Bear Ecology and Conservation: Multiscale Habitat Associations in Southeast Asia 马来熊的生态与保护:东南亚地区的多尺度生境关联研究

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,

Turning Down Mum's Cooking: The Ethics of Dietary Difference within Families

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although food ethicists have called for greater attention to the relational context of eating for over a decade, the context of ‘eating with family’ remains largely ignored. But the family is both a morally specific relational context and one within which many people do most of their eating.

Functional macronutritional generalism in a large omnivore, the brown bear

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
We combine a recently developed framework for describing dietary generalism with compositional data analysis to examine patterns of omnivory in a large widely distributed mammal.

Seasonal variations in planktonic food web structure affect stability by shifting the distribution of energy fluxes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

Seasonality of fruiting phenology, hunting behaviour and taste preferences in Madagascar's Makira Protected Area

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract For many people around the world, especially in Indigenous communities, seasonal changes affect the availability and desirability of different types of food. Assessing the relationship between seasonality, sociocultural preferences and hunting patterns is vital for understanding how these populations harness seasonal food production dynamics ...

Raccoon Dogs Adjust Diel Visitation at Scent Marking Latrines to Reduce Human Disturbance in Urban Areas

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Human activity and development have a variety of effects on wildlife behavior, often prompting urban wildlife to adopt behavioral strategies—including spatiotemporal activity adjustments—that facilitate persistence in human‐dominated environments.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.
