Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

Early‐Life Telomere Length Negatively Covaries With Brood Size and Father Age, and Predicts Long‐Term Survival in Male Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In barn swallows, nestlings raised in larger broods or by older social fathers have shorter telomeres, and those with longer telomeres tend to live longer, suggesting that early‐life conditions may shape individual lifespan through telomere dynamics. ABSTRACT Parental decisions on breeding, such as brood size and timing of reproduction, influence the ...

Baseline Cortisol and Behavioral Phenotype Are Linked to Context‐Dependent Spatial Cognition and Space Use in Giant Pandas

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Baseline cortisol and repeatable behavioral phenotypes were associated with context‐dependent spatial cognition in giant pandas. Individuals differed in spatial search performance under stable and changing resource conditions. Exploratory GPS analyses revealed directionally consistent but non‐significant patterns of space use in novel environments ...

Beyond the Individual: Multisite Population‐Level Consequences of Road Mortality on a Declining Mammal

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used a comparative study design to quantify population densities, structure, survival, cause‐specific mortality and female productivity in four West‐European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) populations, and to forecast the impact of road mortality on population viability.
