Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Temporal Responses to Warming: Do Wild Herbivores Trade Off Heat, Predators, and Humans?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We untangled how summer temperature, predators, and humans influenced behavioral responses in two deer species. Both reduced their daily activity level in response to warming, yet only roe deer increased nocturnality to avoid heat. Conversely, fallow deer traded off heat avoidance with predator avoidance.

Availability of a Keystone Plant Resource Reduces Niche Overlap and Drives Distinct Species‐Specific Changes in Niche Breadth Among Small Rodents

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

Divergence Linked to Possible Ecological Speciation in Blind Mole Rats: Integration of Thermal Biology and Bite Force in the Upper Galilee Blind Mole Rat (Nannospalax galili)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...

Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.
