Impact of Two High‐Fiber Dietary Transitions on Fecal Consistency and Microbiota Composition in Captive Dromedary Camels (Camelus dromedarius) With Chronic Recurrent Diarrhea: A Pilot Study

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
High‐fiber dietary interventions reshaped the gut microbiota of captive dromedaries with chronic recurrent diarrhea, but responses varied among individuals. Despite taxonomic shifts, microbial metabolic functions remained remarkably stable, supporting the resilience of the dromedary gut ecosystem and the use of fiber‐based dietary management.

Conductivity Analysis and Thermoelectric Behaviour of Larch Standing Trees Under Lightning Currents: Role of Moisture Distribution and Carrier Motion

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The direct effects of lightning strikes on forest combustibles form the foundation for predicting lightning‐induced forest fires. Accurate assessment of lightning impact is hindered by limited knowledge of the conduction characteristics of standing larch trees.

Reproductive success under constraints: Does increased maternal activity during lactation offset poor habitat and individual quality in an income breeder?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐induced environmental modifications may alter forage access and, hence, how animals manage energy trade‐offs during critical periods. Reproduction, especially lactation, is the most energetically costly process for female mammals.

Predicting the effects of milder winters on the energy and water balance of a warm‐temperate hibernator

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract At the foundation of a species' vulnerability to climate change are the linkages between its physiological capacity, microclimate exposure and behavioural decision‐making.

Milder winters alleviate seasonal challenges for a migratory goose facing Arctic warming

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By combining extensive body mass records with population‐wide migration counts spanning several decades, this study uncovers long‐term improvements in body condition associated with progressively milder winters, alongside earlier spring departure in an Arctic migrant, highlighting the importance of the full annual cycle in determining species ...

Host‐mediated filtering and interspecific associations structure strongyle parasite communities in Sable Island horses

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using individual‐level nemabiome metabarcoding of 3147 samples from 916 horses on Sable Island over 10 years, we generate the largest dataset of its kind to date. This unprecedented scale enables a rare test of the processes structuring parasite communities in a natural system, revealing dominant host‐mediated filtering and predominantly positive ...
