Strategic management of a widespread native interference competitor

Conservation Science and Practice
Implementing evidence‐based strategies to manage pest species is critical to limit global extinctions. The overabundance of a hyperaggressive native songbird—the noisy miner Manorina melanocephala—has emerged as a broad‐scale conservation issue in ...

Fall bird migration in western North America during a period of heightened wildfire activity

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Billions of birds annually migrate between breeding and nonbreeding grounds in North America. During fall 2020, there was a series of alarming mass-mortality events of migratory birds across the western United States, with estimates of 100,000 to 1 ...

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Should you use data integration for your distribution model?

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper explores cases where data integration (the joint modelling of two or more observational datasets) is useful for species distribution models, and also highlights cases where it's actually not useful. This provides the first concrete guidance for deciding whether or not data integration is worth your time.

Cattle Egrets and dry fish business in coastal areas [PDF]

, 2009
Cattle Egret is one of the common wetland birds in India known for its efficiency to make use of human interfered habitats. The present study is an attempt to document maggots of houseflies and calliphorids in the coastal sun drying fish yards and the ...

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence
