Pesticide Contamination in the Hair of Children From Colonia San Juan, a Rural Community in Paraguay
Hair analysis in children from a rural community in Paraguay reveals exposure to organophosphates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, fungicides, herbicides, and endocrine disruptors, highlighting the urgent need for stricter environmental protections and preventive health measures. ABSTRACT Chronic exposure to pesticides can cause carcinogenic, reproductive,

Anthropogenic Infrastructures Shape Brown Bear Movements in Human‐Modified Landscapes
Human activities are major drivers of changes in animal behaviour, resulting in diverse spatial and temporal activity patterns across species. In this study, we analysed telemetry data from brown bears in Finland, Slovakia and Romania, to compare how human infrastructure influences their movement behaviour.

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds
We assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...

Monitoring Zoo Elephant Rumble Activity Using Combined Seismic and Acoustic Data
At the Opel‐Zoo in Germany, we studied elephant rumble activity by recording low‐frequency signals with seismic and infrasound sensors. We detected over 1350 rumbles within 4 weeks that show temporal patterns, demonstrating the benefits of combining both sensing methods.

Abstract Environmental variability imposes strong selective pressures that may favor adaptive responses such as phenotypic plasticity and bet hedging. Plasticity is generally favored under predictable conditions, whereas bet hedging is advantageous against environmental uncertainty. Plastic responses rely on reliable cues to adjust phenotypes to future
