Dominant deer mice show the importance of abundance in competition
Abstract Detecting competitive interactions is important for predicting species responses to environmental change but remains challenging, especially over large scales. Modern coexistence theory predicts that reduced ecological trait overlap promotes coexistence through stabilizing mechanisms, while fitness differences generate competitive asymmetries.

Use of Track Plates to Quantify Predation Risk at Small Spatial Scales [PDF]
Spatial heterogeneity in risk is a critical component of predator-prey interactions. However, at small spatial scales, it is difficult to quantify predation risk without altering it.

ABSTRACT Invasive species that undergo a founder event may experience a decline in genetic diversity yet still establish successful populations. A possible example is a population of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, which was founded following an introduction in the 1950s of a small number of individuals from Europe ...

ABSTRACT A series of terminological, technical, conceptual, and statistical challenges present themselves when trying to study correlations between measures of performance abilities (what an animal can do) and behavioural traits (what an animal chooses to do).

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

‘O sibling, where art thou?’ – a review of avian sibling recognition with respect to the mammalian literature [PDF]
Avian literature on sibling recognition is rare compared to that developed by mammalian researchers. We compare avian and mammalian research on sibling recognition to identify why avian work is rare, how approaches differ and what avian and mammalian ...

Environmental and Temporal Effects on Vocal Activity in a Nocturnal Primate: Implications for Passive Acoustic Monitoring [PDF]
Passive acoustic monitoring of the Critically Endangered Nosy Be sportive lemur (Lepilemur tymerlachsoni) for two lunar cycles revealed that vocal activity (i.e., call rates) increased over a 4‐h sampling window starting at twilight. The lemurs also called more as temperature and moonlight increased, and called less when it rained.
