Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Skin artefacts due to post-mortem damage caused by Notiothauma reedi: A insect of forensic importance in forest communities of Chile

Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2016
We selected four types of forestal areas with different botanical compositions and an anthropised prairie in a region of Chile to identify insects that participate in the decomposition of pig carcasses and that can be used as bioindicators in Chilean ...

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environment (i.e. increase in population density) experienced at early life.

Hospitaller Revenues, Bourbon Regalism: The Financial Administration of the Grand Priory of Castile and León under an American Parvenu

History, EarlyView.

Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

A comparative study of the sorption, persistence, and bioactivity of the enantiopure and racemic forms of abscisic acid in soil under different application regimes

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background The plant growth regulatory activity of both enantiomers of abscisic acid (ABA) provides a rationale for evaluating the potential benefits of using racemic ABA (RS-ABA) over S-ABA as a plant protection product.
