Chinese Pangolin Changes Local Vertebrate Assemblages and Contributes to Their Interspecific Interactions by Burrowing and Revisitation

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Hydraulic-driven adaptable morphing active-cooling elastomer with bioinspired bicontinuous phases

open access: yesNature Communications
The active-cooling elastomer concept, originating from vascular thermoregulation for soft biological tissue, is expected to develop an effective heat dissipation method for human skin, flexible electronics, and soft robots due to the desired interface ...
