Comparative evaluation of noninvasive DNA sampling and line transect surveys for spring density estimation of black grouse and capercaillie

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable abundance estimates provide essential information in ecology, conservation and management of many wild grouse populations. In this 3‐year study, we comparatively evaluate the suitability of traditional line transect distance sampling of flushed birds versus a spatial capture–recapture survey with noninvasive DNA samples for individual ...

A Conservation Assessment and Systematic Review of the Endangered Spectacled Flying‐Fox 濒危眼镜狐蝠的保护评估与系统综述

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

Leaf phosphorus resorption is related to leaf lifespan and labile phosphorus allocation among species in a nutrient‐poor sclerophyll woodland

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Internal nutrient recycling, such as leaf nutrient resorption, serves as an important strategy for plants to optimise their growth and survival on nutrient‐poor soils.

Long‐range pollen transport across the North Sea: Insights from migratory hoverflies landing on a remote oil rig

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study identifies pollen from over 100 plant species—including wildflowers, food and crops—carried by hoverflies alighting onto an oilrig 200 km off the coast during seasonal migrations. Analysis of their movements indicates a huge potential to enhance long distance gene flow between plants and increase pollination services.

Synching with seasonality: Predicting roe deer parturition phenology across its distributional range

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using an unprecedentedly large data set on roe deer parturition dates, our study shows that elevation and Colwell's metrics of environmental predictability enhance the prediction of the timing of parturition across Europe, compared to using latitude and elevation alone.
