When generalists behave as specialists: local specialization by American badgers (Taxidea taxus)

, 2018
Differentiating species according to their relative niche breadth is a common approach in community ecology that can enhance understanding about how species relate to the environment.

Nest predators of sagebrush‐obligate songbirds in the Northern Great Basin

Wildlife Society Bulletin
A major cause of reproductive failure in songbirds is nest predation, yet the full suite of predator species and their relative contribution to nest predation are unknown for most species.

Bergmann's rule: Why does body size increase with latitude?

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 830-843, April 2026.
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.

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 ...

Spatial–Temporal Patterns of Mammal Diversity and Abundance in Three Vegetation Types in a Semi-Arid Landscape in Southeastern Coahuila, Mexico

Diversity
The grasslands and shrublands of northern and central Mexico cover nearly 25% of the country and harbor high biodiversity. However, they are increasingly degraded by agriculture, urbanization, infrastructure development, and water overexploitation.

Mesopredators have differing influences on prey habitat use and diel activity in a multipredator landscape

Ecosphere
Resource distribution, habitat structure, and predators greatly influence spatial and temporal landscape use by prey species. The “risky places” hypothesis establishes prey will proactively respond to predators' presence based on habitat cues, whereas ...

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
