Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Multi‐decadal monitoring in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, reveals severe (>90%) declines of key echinoid grazers. These declines signify a collapse of crucial herbivory functions underpinning coral reef resilience. Results implicate accelerating anthropogenic stress as a principal driver, emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, species ...

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sell‐side equity analysts serve as external monitors, yet evidence on how they fulfill this monitoring role remains limited. We examine whether analysts utilize earnings conference calls to monitor firms suspected of real earnings management and assess the implications of such monitoring.

pyecoacc: A python package for supervised learning of behavioural modes from accelerometer data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Supervised learning of behavioural modes from body‐worn sensor data, especially accelerometers, has become a transformative research tool in behavioural ecology over the past years. Due to the popularity of the methodology and diverging needs of users, there are a number of software packages dedicated to it, ranging from web based graphical ...

Decreased Severity of Oral Immunotherapy Induced Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Reactions Following Revisions in Milk‐Treatment Protocol

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
A revised milk OIT protocol with lower daily allergen load and slower dose escalation reduced the severity and delayed onset of OIT‐induced gastrointestinal eosinophilic reactions (OITIGER). Elevated baseline absolute eosinophil count (AEC > 600/μL) was a consistent independent risk factor for OITIGER, while older age was protective.
