Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Rock solid: winter ecology of boreal bats at natural hibernation sites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Overwintering bats at northerly latitudes spend up to eight months a year in a state of dormancy: a period characterised by extended use of torpor, but not an absolute lack of activity. Although this period constitutes a majority of their yearly cycle, little is known about their ecology during this time, because of the cryptic behaviour of bats ...

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Freeze‐tolerant frogs accumulate cryoprotectants using photoperiod: A potential ecological trap
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Climate change is disrupting the reliability of photoperiod as a cue signalling seasonal changes in temperature. We show that gray treefrogs under a late‐season photoperiod accumulated large reserves of ‘antifreeze’ and exhibited greater cold tolerance.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Beavers reshape ecosystems in ways that benefit bat richness, activity and feeding activity. We linked increased habitat structures (standing deadwood and canopy heterogeneity) and prey abundance to higher bat activity. Our findings uncover how beavers drive biodiversity across aquatic‐terrestrial boundaries.

Experimental resource supplementation shifts ant‐mediated defence on silver cholla
Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.The partitioning of EFN resources between ant species influences defence and subsequent fitness effects on silver cholla. Abstract Extrafloral nectaries (EFN) often mediate facultative mutualisms between plants and ants. Ants obtain a nutrient‐rich food source from plants in exchange for defending the plant from herbivores.

Victorian Women and the Gendering of Mountaineering in the Alps
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the gendered segregation of Victorian mountaineering, highlighting how societal norms sought to confine women to passive roles within the alpine landscape. As Elizabeth Le Blond declared, ‘there is no manlier sport in the world than mountaineering’, encapsulating the pervasive attitudes of the era.

Text and Topos: British Travellers to Real‐and‐Imagined Classical Sites, c. 1560–1820
History, EarlyView.Abstract Early‐modern British travellers to the Mediterranean often understood their journeys through the lens of classical texts and culture. Historians sometimes explain this as an imaginative phenomenon: travellers’ preconceptions shaped by classical knowledge guided their subsequent comprehension and activity.
