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

Ecology 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

Ecology 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.

Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...
