Heightened threats to small woodland caribou populations in Canada and key considerations for their persistence Menaces pesant sur les petites populations de caribou des bois au Canada et considérations essentielles à leur rétablissement

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
Abstract Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are one of the most iconic wildlife species in Canada. These large ungulates depend on undisturbed, interconnected assemblages of mature and old‐growth conifer forests for survival, and exhibit life‐history traits typical of K‐selected species (i.e., low reproductive rates, long generation times, and slow ...

Localized resources enable noninvasive genetic monitoring of small populations of mountain ungulates

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Using microsatellite analysis of fecal samples collected at mineral licks from 2019–2022, we assessed abundance, apparent survival and genetics of bighorn sheep in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA. Annual abundance estimates ranged from 118−132 individuals split into 2 similar‐sized demes and apparent survival estimates ranged from 0.72–0.92.

The ‘big houses‐big cars dilemma’: How do we reconcile the prevalence of positive correlations among life history traits?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Life history theory assumes that there are negative correlations among different components of the life history—investing more in reproduction now means taking resources away from growth, maintenance or the ability to reproduce in the future.

Out of the fire and into the frying pan: Hostile post‐fire thermal conditions reduce activity windows for reptiles

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change and intensified fire regimes are reshaping ecosystems globally. Reptiles, as ectotherms, rely on microhabitat shelters to buffer against thermal extremes, yet the capacity of these shelters to persist or function following fire remains poorly understood ...

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

Fragmented and Dealigned: The 2024 British General Election and the Rise of Place‐Based Politics

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 13-25, January/March 2025.
Abstract While the outcome of the 2024 British general election signalled a resounding repudiation of the incumbent government—returning a 231‐seat swing from the Conservatives to Labour—it did not radically overturn the geography of electoral outcomes in England and Wales.

TAXI, CHILLI AND MOBILE PARTY BRANCH: Reterritorialization of Migrants in Urban Villages, Shenzhen

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In China as well as in other countries, migrants often grapple with urban inequities by actively reshaping the functions and meanings of their environments. While acknowledging established frameworks such as place‐making and urban informality, this study adopts a complementary lens, framing migrants’ everyday practices as a process of ...

HOUSING RETROFIT AND THE JUST TRANSITION IN THE METROPOLIS: Governance, Redistribution, and Inequality in London and Barcelona

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Metropolises are rapidly becoming spaces of stark inequalities. While much literature has emphasized the metropolitan scale as a driver of agglomeration economies, recent scholarship highlights either the ungovernable nature of large metropolises or the weak redistributive capacity of their governments as key causes of increasingly unequal ...
