Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Heat stress in tropical highland regions: the case of Kenya during February 2024
Weather, EarlyView.Understanding and awareness about heat stress remain low in sub‐Saharan countries despite high exposure and vulnerability. After the national media in Kenya reported that people had complained about unusual heat stress during February 2024, we combine in situ and reanalysis data to (i) put this event into climatological perspective, and (ii) give ...

The biopsychology of maternal behavior in nonhuman mammals [PDF]
, 1990 The term “maternal behavior,” when applied to nonhuman mammals, includes the behaviors exhibited in preparation for the arrival of newborn, in the care and protection of the newly arrived young, and in the weaning of those young, and represents a complex

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The northern bobwhite is an economically important species across its geographic range that has experienced declining population numbers. There is ample research dedicated to evaluating management practices for the adult life stage. However, effects of management on bobwhite chicks remain understudied, despite this being the most vulnerable age class ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Increasing ecological perturbations resulting from global change processes are altering the environmental predictability (EP) of critical forage and water resources for wildlife. While research has furthered our understanding of how EP both underlies and directs animal movement, studies have mainly focused on relationships between EP and large‐scale ...

Thermosensitivity of the lobster, Homarus americanus, as determined by cardiac assay [PDF]
, 2000 It is generally accepted that crustaceans detect, and respond to, changes in water temperature, yet few studies have directly addressed their thermosensitivity.

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Wild turkey roost selection is more consistently associated with tree traits than microclimate
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Animals must cope with a range of climatic conditions across seasons, and they can accomplish this by selecting habitats that are favourable for thermoregulation. Sheltering from environmental conditions can be particularly important for reducing energetic costs when animals are inactive, but the influence of microclimate on the fine‐scale selection of
