Availability of a Keystone Plant Resource Reduces Niche Overlap and Drives Distinct Species‐Specific Changes in Niche Breadth Among Small Rodents

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

‘But I can't preregister my research’: Improving the reproducibility and transparency of ecology and conservation with adaptive preregistration for model‐based research

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Preregistration is an open science practice which aims to improve research transparency and mitigate questionable research practices, like cherry‐picking results. It helps protect against cognitive biases, like hindsight bias, that can influence how study outcomes are interpreted.

Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.

Temporal and geographical patterns of nitazene detections in drug samples and biospecimens in the United States, 2019–2024

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Nitazenes are a novel subclass of synthetic opioids that have been increasingly implicated in the United States (US) overdose crisis. Despite their growing presence in the illicit drug supply, national trends have not been systematically evaluated.
