Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Water availability strongly influences the ecology of terrestrial birds and mammals. It will likely play an increasing role as a limiting factor as climate change and human demand make water availability scarcer. However, we lack a knowledge synthesis describing our current understanding of the use of water sources, particularly for wildlife hydration.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding how species survive at their poleward limits of distribution is of interest in species conservation, particularly in light of global warming and predictions of shifting distributions of both predators and prey species. How species adapt to high latitudes and to future climate changes will be impacted both by direct interactions with the ...

Radiological Landmarks as an Aid in the Interpretation of Rodent Skull Extra‐Oral Projections
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Knowledge of the radiographic anatomy of rodent skulls is essential for accurately interpreting extra‐oral radiographs, a non‐invasive diagnostic tool commonly used in veterinary practice. Due to the complexity of the skull and the potential for distortion in two‐dimensional views, a systematic evaluation of anatomical structures is necessary.
