Criminal history's expiration date: Evidence of prediction decay

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Criminal history is a well‐established predictor of future offending, yet recidivism risk declines with time. Research has struggled to reconcile this tension as criminal history is often treated as a static indicator of risk, while desistance is commonly inferred rather than directly modeled.

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.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

From fluke to fragment: A multifaceted method for molecular sex identification and mitochondrial haplotyping from environmental DNA samples

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have become a powerful tool for non‐invasive biodiversity monitoring, yet the applicability of population‐genetic approaches to environmental samples remains largely unexplored. Even when genetic traces originate from a single individual, low target DNA concentrations and amplification or sequencing artefacts ...

Handling mean–variance scaling in intraspecific trait variability and implications for trait–environment analyses

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Trait‐based ecology increasingly relies on measures of intraspecific trait variability to estimate how trait diversity within species varies across species and environmental gradients. Yet variance and related metrics are often interpreted without considering their intrinsic dependence on the mean, as described by the empirical Taylor's power ...
