Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding an organism's shifting resource needs throughout its life cycle is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. Northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus populations have been declining for nearly a century due largely to habitat loss/degradation.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Abstract Studies on the earliest life stages are essential to our ecological understanding of avian demography; however, monitoring technologies that allow tracking of small birds are still limited in a variety of ways. One critical limitation, until recently, has been the development of methods for attaching transmitters to young birds with precocial ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant species coexistence in nutrient‐limited ecosystems is often maintained by niche differentiation in nitrogen (N) uptake. However, how this partitioning responds to changes in nutrient stoichiometry is still poorly understood.

Leafspot Disease Progression and Components of Resistance Among Selected Peanut Genotypes in Ghana
Legume ScienceEarly and late leafspot diseases are major constraints in peanut production, causing up to 70% yield losses in combined occurrences. Phenotyping has focused mainly on disease incidence and severity with little attention on disease progression and ...

Wild large herbivores promote plant diversity and functional redundancy by reducing dominance
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Large herbivores can strongly shape plant communities, yet studies report contrasting effects on species richness, and how they affect plant functional diversity remains largely unknown.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.
