Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell
Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Ongoing depletion of Iran's groundwater, driven by human extraction, has contributed to 106 incidences of basin‐scale, land‐surface subsidence covering 31,400 km2 (> ${ >} $10 mm/yr, 1.9%) of the country. We use Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar time series to map and analyze, for the first time, surface velocities within ...

Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 339-351, August 2025.We investigated sex and seasonal differences in the road crossing behavior of Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) living in central Honshu Island, Japan, as an example of wildlife risk‐taking behavior in a highly fragmented landscape. Our results show that Asian black bears generally avoid crossing roads, and that there are seasonal differences in ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Through examining the three ecological niche dimensions, we found spatial and prey niche partitioning could help explain mesocarnivore coexistence patterns in Guangdong Province, southern China. ABSTRACT Mesocarnivores are expected to maintain ecosystem function and stability as emerging apex predators after the decline and extinction of large ...

Modelling Species Distribution at the Boundaries of the Earth's Climate
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to project species' responses to global changes. The climatic niche of a species is calibrated under current climate conditions and then projected in space and/or time, making model extrapolation an important concern. This issue is particularly relevant when considering species

Spatiotemporal interactions facilitate sympatry in a diverse mammalian community
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Understanding mechanisms underlying coexistence among potential competitors, and between predators and prey, is a persistent challenge in community ecology. Using 6 years (2013–2018) of camera‐trapping data and species interaction models, we investigated the spatiotemporal patterns of inter‐ and intra‐guild interspecific interactions in a ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2024.There is ongoing debate in conservation genomics on how to preserve small and fragmented populations, whether they should be managed independently or blended through translocations. This study using genetic and phenotypic data from Red grouse Lagopus scotica in a large British population and endangered Irish population found significant divergence and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.Here, we develop, optimize, and validate a GT‐seq panel for the federally threatened northern Idaho ground squirrel (Urocitellus brunneus) to provide a standardized approach for future genetic monitoring and assessment of recovery goals using minimally invasive samples.
