Individualised niches in a variable environment—Consequences for environmental change responses

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) can be important for population performance in a variable and changing environment because individuals with different traits have different fitness responses. Furthermore, there are three mechanisms via which individuals can interact with their environment to potentially improve fitness: niche conformance ...

COPIS: A robust and versatile robotic imaging system for the 3D digitization of natural history specimens with photogrammetry

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly turning to 3D models to use in scientific research. Natural history museums are one of the primary sources for specimens used as 3D models, and efforts are underway to digitize their collections using methods like photogrammetry.

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Burrow Persistence and Spatial Distribution of Federally and State‐Protected Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Populations in Southwest Alabama

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...
