Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

Ocean acidification, more than warming or heatwaves, constrains shoaling behaviour in a range‐extending fish through habitat simplification

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that ocean acidification, more than warming or marine heatwaves, alters shoaling behaviour indirectly by simplifying reef habitat and reducing population densities and shoal sizes. Because fish behaviour can be strongly mediated by shoal size, climate‐driven habitat change may reshape social dynamics that influence how range‐extending fishes ...

Deep blueprint: A literature review and guide to automated image classification for ecologists

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
A practical, literature‐grounded review that gives ecologists a clear, modular workflow for deep learning image classification. With code, GUIs and a novel deep sea case study (automated deep sea biotope classification) it lowers technical barriers and provides a usable blueprint for accelerating, standardising, and scaling ecological image analysis ...

Integrating infection intensity and aggregation into the dynamics of pathogens with within‐host replication

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We bridge micro‐ and macroparasite theory with a model tracking pathogen load heterogeneity. By incorporating load‐dependent mortality and within‐host pathogen growth, we show how pathogen load aggregation alters disease prevalence, host suppression effects, and virulence evolution, providing insights for managing complex infectious disease like ...

Drought and growing season phenology over 35 years modulates species interactions among domestic and wild herbivores

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using a unique 35‐year dataset, this study shows that domestic livestock do not facilitate wild large herbivores as predicted by the grazing optimization hypothesis. Instead, competition caused avoidance of cattle by elk which intensified under drought, and highlights how climate change influences interactions among domestic and wild large herbivores ...
