Dwarf Mongooses Lose Body Mass in Hot Weather due to Limited Behavioural Plasticity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Using long‐term data from wild dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula), we demonstrate that on hot days (≥ 35°C) compared to matched cooler ones (≤ 33°C), mongooses emerged and commenced foraging earlier in morning and arrived at and entered their overnight sleeping burrow later in the evening, but we find no further evidence of behavioural plasticity ...

Solar radiation determines host choice, larval feeding and survival throughout the life cycle of an endangered open forest butterfly

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.
Open forest butterfly species have been declining rapidly in Central Europe, but the reasons for their decline are not yet fully understood. Using the Southern White Admiral (Limenitis reducta) as a model species, we showed that solar radiation plays a key role throughout the species' life cycle, in particular for larval survival.
