The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

When is a parasite not a parasite? Effects of larval tick burdens on white-footed mouse survival [PDF]
, 2014 Many animal species can carry considerable burdens of ectoparasites: parasites living on the outside of a host's body. Ectoparasite infestation can decrease host survival, but the magnitude and even direction of survival effects can vary depending on the

An Ecological Dipole in North American Mast‐Eating Small Mammal Dynamics
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Ecological dipoles are patterns in plant and animal indices of opposite extremes, and many ecological dipoles may exist. We discovered a novel ecological dipole in seed‐eating small mammals in North America using spatial analyses. We also tested for associations between climate variables and small mammal synchrony, and found that site proximity as well

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 4, Page 351-360, May 2026.ABSTRACT Animals with seasonal reproductive cycles, as the Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), have developed mechanisms to synchronize reproduction with the environmental cycle in order to optimize reproductive success through melatonin. Angiogenesis and oxidative stress are key processes in spermatogenesis, contributing to testicular remodeling and ...
