Do artificial nests simulate nest success of greater sage-grouse?
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Artificial nests have been used to study factors affecting nest success because researchers can manipulate them more than natural bird nests. Many researchers have questioned the validity of generalizing the results from artificial nests onto naturally ...

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

Bergmann's rule: Why does body size increase with latitude?
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the tendency for endothermic body size to increase with latitude, a pattern often attributed to climatic factors. However, the underlying developmental and evolutionary mechanisms remain debated.

Immunohistochemistry of Parasitic Subepidermal Vesiculobullous Disease in American Badgers (Taxidea Taxus) [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1994 Some populations of free-ranging American badgers (Taxidea taxus) develop a distinctive seasonal dermatitis due to the subcutaneous filariid Filaria taxideae. Subepidermal vesicles that contain filarial ova develop in thinly haired skin of the inguinal area, proximal thigh, and ventral abdomen.

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 383-396, March 2026.We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...

Megafaunal Rodents: Behaviour and Ecological Roles of Southeast Asian Forest Porcupines
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Southeast Asian porcupines (Malayan porcupine, Hystrix brachyura; brush‐tailed porcupine, Atherurus macrourus) performed at least four important ecological roles in a Malaysian rainforest. Burrows of both species were used in several ways by at least 22 animal species, while the soil above was potentially good sites for seedling recruitment. Porcupines
