What the Cat Dragged in: Quantifying Prey Return Rates of Pet Cats (Felis catus) With Outdoor Access in the UK

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
This study used predation survey techniques (citizen science) in order to quantify prey return rates across the UK, along with potential influencing factors. Although between 37 and 140 million prey were estimated to be returned home by cats, it is important to recognise that this does not indicate impact on prey populations.

The Morphology of the Rare Beetle Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a Commensal of the Semiaquatic Russian Desman

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 3, March 2025.
We document in detail the morphology of Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a commensal of the endangered semiaquatic Russian desman, and discuss it with respect to phylogeny and function. Silphopsyllus is much less adapted to life on a semiaquatic host than the closely related beaver beetle Platypsyllus.

Multiscale spatial dependency of small mammal diversity patterns and their determinants

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Animals perceive their ecosystems at multiple spatial scales such that the pattern–process relationships that determine their ecological and evolutionary opportunities are also spatially variable. Understanding how spatial scale impacts our observations of ecological and evolutionary patterns and processes is therefore crucial for effective ...
