Water Use Behavior of Individual Birds: Ring Ouzels in an Arid High‐Mountain Ecosystem

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Water is a limiting resource for birds in arid ecosystems. Individual birds differ strongly in how they use shared water sources, with drinking behavior increasing with temperature. Behavioral differences, hierarchy, and social context ultimately shape unequal access to water within the population. ABSTRACT Water availability strongly constrains animal

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Fragment Edges Benefit a Common Predator of Pollinators via Bottom‐Up Effects

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigated the hypotheses regarding the effects of habitat fragmentation on spider biomass and causing bottom‐up or top‐down effects on multi‐trophic relationships. ABSTRACT Defaunation following habitat fragmentation typically threatens predators at higher trophic levels, which further alter prey and plants via top‐down effects.

Reproductive Biology, Mating System, and Extended Natal Association in the Echolocating Dalou Mountains Tree Mouse (Typhlomys daloushanensis): Insights Into Sensory Adaptation and Life‐History Strategy

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Typhlomys daloushanensis, a poorly known and unique echolocating rodent. Using a captive breeding colony, we quantify key reproductive parameters, including gestation length, litter size, interbirth interval, and development to maturity, and evaluate these in relation to mating system structure.

Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation Versus Active MRI Surveillance in Small Cell Lung Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) has traditionally been a cornerstone of treatment in limited‐stage and extensive‐stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Recent evidence suggests that active MRI brain surveillance may result in comparable overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS).

Status of ash (Fraxinus spp.) in mixed hardwood post‐outbreak forests near the epicentre of the emerald ash borer invasion

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The persistence and health of ash populations were characterized in post‐outbreak forests near the epicentre of the emerald ash borer (EAB) invasion in North America. Regenerating ash remained abundant, but densities of understory ash were higher in wetlands (hydric), while ash remained at the seedling stage in riparian (mesic) and upland (xeric ...
