Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Elk and Deer Habituate to Stationary Deterrents in an Agricultural Landscape
This study investigated the responses of Roosevelt elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) and black‐tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) to acoustic and visual deterrents on crop fields in the Cowichan Valley, British Columbia. Both species were most likely to flee and exhibit alertness in response to playbacks of human vocalizations, while ...

ABSTRACT A Late Upper Paleolithic (LUP) site containing Ahrensburgian‐type stone tools has been discovered at South Cuidrach, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Together with a group of intertidal stone circular alignments also recently discovered on the island, this new evidence for the occupation of northern Scotland also represents the most northerly LUP site ...

The American Woodcock Singing‐Ground Survey (SGS) may not cover all available woodcock breeding range, particularly in more northern regions. Using SGS data collected in Canada between 2000 and 2019, we evaluated the relationship between 16 landscape covariates and male woodcock occurrence and abundance and we developed a predictive map to identify ...

Interspecific competition, a fundamental ecological process characterized by negative interactions between species, plays a vital role in shaping ecological communities. Despite the co‐occurrence of the snow leopard Panthera uncia and the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx across vast landscapes in Asia, their interactions remain poorly understood. In this study,

Seasonal fine‐scale resource selection of elk in the central Appalachian Mountains
Resource selection by animals varies depending on spatial and temporal context, thus it is important to account for these factors when conducting studies that examine this behavior relative to the availability and distribution of resources. Many resource selection studies combine fine‐scale animal location data obtained using global positioning system (
