Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Behavioural tactics across thermal gradients align with partial morphological divergence in brook charr

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that brook charr adopt distinct ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ behavioural tactics to balance foraging and thermal stress in stratified lakes. By linking fine‐scale thermal movements to morphology, we show how temperature‐driven habitat use promotes individual specialization and potential ecotypic divergence under climate change.

Heat Stress and Placental Abruption: A Space–Time Stratified Case‐Crossover Study

open access: yesBJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine whether heat stress, measured by wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), a comprehensive heat stress index is associated with placental abruption within 7 days. Design A space–time‐stratified case‐crossover design. Setting All 11 regions in Japan during the warm season (June–September) from 2011 to 2020.
