Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Limited plant establishment creates demographic bottlenecks that can alter vegetation trajectories in changing environments, yet it is unclear how common eco‐evolutionary indicators of plant strategy shape early response to key stressors.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Basal body temperature as a biomarker of reproductive state in ewes: A multi‐method comparison
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.This study quantified body temperature dynamics throughout reproductive stages in crossbred ewes based on complementary monitoring techniques. Five ewes from a semi‐extensive farming system were included in two sub‐trials: animals were first assessed in the prepubertal stage and, subsequently, an oestrous cycle was induced by intravaginal progesterone ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership
