Sources of Pre‐ and Postnatal Maternal Energy Allocation to Offspring in a Long‐Lived, Capital Breeder: The Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Few studies have simultaneously assessed multiple sources of variation in maternal energy allocation and how allocation might vary over a female's lifetime. We used 20 years of cross‐sectional and longitudinal data on 222 known‐age grey seals, which was collected as part of long‐term monitoring programme of grey seals that breed on Sable Island ...

The Effect of Social Rank on Reproductive Traits Depends on Rank Metric: Evidence From a Group‐Living Carnivore

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In animal societies, one's social rank determines access to resources like food, mates, and allies. Using longitudinal data on 481 spotted hyenas, we tested two common social rank metrics with different mechanistic assumptions to see whether resource access or social constraints could best explain different aspects of reproductive success.

Distinguishing the victim from the threat: SNP‐based methods reveal the extent of introgressive hybridization between wildcats and domestic cats in Scotland and inform future in situ and ex situ management options for species restoration

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2019
The degree of introgressive hybridization between the Scottish wildcat and domestic cat has long been suspected to be advanced. Here, we use a 35‐SNP‐marker test, designed to assess hybridization between wildcat and domestic cat populations in Scotland ...
