Age‐Trajectory of Mother–Infant Relationships in Wild Assamese Macaques
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.Maternal care in wild Assamese macaques declined sharply between 1 and 3 months of infant age as infant independence increased, and stabilized from around 6 months, with no sex differences in the trajectory. This early shift aligns with the species' seasonal breeding strategy, with females balancing investment in current and future offspring.

Ciencias Marinas, 2019 Fine-scale site fidelity in polygynous pinnipeds influences individual interactions, social stability, and gene flow; over time, demographic processes may be altered, and local extinction of some colonies may occur.

Population structure as revealed by mtDNA and microsatellites in northern fur seals, Callorhinus ursinus, throughout their range. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus; NFS) is a widely distributed pinniped that has been shown to exhibit a high degree of philopatry to islands, breeding areas on an island, and even to specific segments of breeding areas.

Reproductive consequences of natal dispersal in a highly philopatric seabird [PDF]
, 2017 Natal and breeding dispersal have a major impact on gene flow and population structure. We examined the consequences of natal dispersal on the reproductive success (proportion of pairs rearing chicks) of colonial-breeding Thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Habitat selection is a fundamental aspect of animal movement and behaviour, involving strategies that influence population regulation, species interactions, community structure and the generation and preservation of biodiversity. The Greater Caribbean Manatee is a megaherbivorous aquatic mammal with high environmental plasticity, found in a ...

Host-pathogen evolutionary signatures reveal dynamics and future invasions of vampire bat rabies [PDF]
, 2016 Anticipating how epidemics will spread across landscapes requires understanding host dispersal events that are notoriously difficult to measure. Here, we contrast host and virus genetic signatures to resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics underlying ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Understanding and predicting the effects of climate change on populations requires linking the environmental conditions to demographic rates and the demographic rates to population‐level consequences, but often this complete demographic pathway is not studied.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Dialect formation in the vocal repertoire of the ghost bat Macroderma gigas was investigated by comparing acoustic, geographic, genetic and morphological distances among colonies in the Northern Territory Australia. Dialects were detected in all vocalisation types examined, and while genetic (and geographic distance) explained some of the variation ...
