Abstract Coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), which may infect the cells through binding with the angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors that can also be found in the male reproductive organs.

Seasonal variation in temperature and food abundance strongly influences life history and behaviour. For animals living in non‐tropical regions, seasonal variation can be reliably predicted by photoperiod and be used for plastic adjustments. Here, we tested if maternal behaviour of the precocial cavy (Cavia aperea) responds to photoperiodic cues and ...

Hunting method affects cortisol levels in harvested mountain hares (Lepus timidus)
The direct effects of hunting on hunted individuals and populations have been well known for a long time. However, recently there has also been an increased focus on the indirect, non‐lethal effects of hunting. When approached by a possible threat such as a predator, the prey releases various stress hormones into the bloodstream.

Rapid and chemically diverse C transfer from trees to mycorrhizal fruit bodies in the forest
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are common belowground tree symbionts, supplying trees with water and nutrients. In return, large amounts of C assimilated by trees can be allocated into EMF. However, the chemical forms in which the C is transferred from trees to fungi under

Urban effects on timing and variability of diel activity differ across passerine species and seasons
We show that urbanisation strongly increases both intra‐ and interindividual variation in activity traits. We propose that urban environments are more heterogenous, and thus that the variability in urban microenvironments might lead to higher variation in behaviour both within and between individuals.

Sparse Over-complete Patch Matching [PDF]
Image patch matching, which is the process of identifying corresponding patches across images, has been used as a subroutine for many computer vision and image processing tasks. State -of-the-art patch matching techniques take image patches as input to a convolutional neural network to extract the patch features and evaluate their similarity.

This study investigates alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) in male house mice and establishes a comprehensive framework for their maintenance. It provides new insights into the expression of ARTs and the factors influencing male reproductive success and survival, with implications for adaptation in changing environments.

The urban environment may exert different selective pressures on sexually selected traits than more pristine environments. Our study shows that sexual coloration is more saturated (bluer) in male lizards from urban environments than in male non‐urban lizards. The average parasite load is lower in urban lizards than in non‐urban lizards.
