Influence of Food Resource Availability on the Activity Time of Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Urban Parks in Tokyo

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study, we evaluated the relationship between raccoon dog activity time and food resources and the degree of urbanization in the western area of Tokyo, the most populated region of Japan. Results showed that raccoon dogs tend to increase their daytime activity and use artificial food resources according to the degree of urbanization, but this is

Effectiveness of temporal matching in ecological niche models: Insights for a low‐dispersing species

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Ecological niche models, crucial for estimating the potential distribution of species under global change, can face reduced accuracy when the timing of occurrence data does not align with the environmental data. One solution is to ensure a close temporal match between the environment and the observation date.
