Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Most current terrestrial biogeochemical models formalize biogeochemical cycling as predominantly controlled by processes involving plants and soil microbes. However, growing evidence indicates that above‐ground animals could exert controlling feedback effects that alter
