Tree Squirrels Selectively Disperse High‐Quality Acorns Away From Tree Trunks
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Acorn quality and squirrel feeding behavior significantly structured spatial dispersal patterns of two Californian oak species. Non‐infested acorns were preferentially selected for embryo excision and dispersed farther than infested ones. Acorns were fully consumed near tree trunks, signaling rapid feeding in safe refuges, whereas non‐eaten, partially ...

Spatial variation in trophic ecology of small mammals in wetlands: support for hydrological drivers
Ecosphere, 2016 Food webs composed of similar consumers can vary based on nutrient input, habitat structure, and other factors. For wetland‐associated species, fluctuating water levels can potentially affect habitat quality, which in turn can affect trophic diversity ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

The Bold, Silent Type: Predictors of Ultrasonic Vocalizations in the Genus Peromyscus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 An ongoing question related to the evolution of monogamy is how behavioral traits that characterize individuals in monogamous species evolve, and whether monogamy influences the evolution of these traits. One of the most important models for the study of

From Model to Practice: Testing Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy as a Bone Collagen Prescreening Tool
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Collagen is a vital archaeological material, preserving biochemical signatures that provide insights into past environments, diets, and human–animal interactions. However, diagenetic processes can lead to rapid and often inconspicuous degradation of collagen. Given the variability in collagen preservation and its significance for analyses such
