Forest thinning creates short‐term roosting opportunities for northern long‐eared bats in central hardwood forests

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Online‐optimized RAG for tool use and function calling

open access: yesDecision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In many applications, retrieval‐augmented generation (RAG) drives tool use and function calling by embedding the (user) queries and matching them to prespecified tool/function descriptions. In this article, we address an embedding misalignment issue that often arises in practical applications due to imperfect embedding models or noisy ...

Variation in forest area influences post‐fledging development and dispersal onset in the Eurasian Goshawk (Astur gentilis)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Natal dispersal is a key ecological process influencing gene flow, population connectivity and individual fitness. In altricial birds, the transition from fledging to natal dispersal is mediated by the post‐fledging dependence period, which is often difficult to observe in elusive, forest‐dwelling species.

GNSS navigation interference disrupts telemetry tracking of raptors migrating between Europe and Africa

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference in war conflict zones can disrupt wildlife tracking for research and conservation efforts. In 2023 and 2024, we tagged Black Kites Milvis migrans in Moldova and Kazakhstan, respectively, with telemetry loggers, tracked them until September 2025 and found that 20 out of the 24 Black Kites had ...

Spot the difference: Turbidity‐driven plasticity and variation in spotted grunter (Pomadasys commersonnii) spot patterns

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal body markings such as spots, stripes and patterns play important roles in camouflage and visual communication. This study investigated phenotypic plasticity in the spot patterns of spotted grunter Pomadasys commersonnii, an estuarine‐dependent haemulid species.
