Behavioral Patterns of Zoo‐housed Lowland (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus), With a Focus on Sleeping Behavior

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
A behavioral study of the nocturnal activity budget and rhythmicity reveals the relationship between lying cycle (LC) duration and time spent in the REM‐sleep posture (“lying – head down”, LHD) in zoo‐housed Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus). ABSTRACT To ensure and optimize husbandry conditions, zoo management and

Behavior First: A Toolkit for Meeting the Behavioral Needs of Animals in Zoos and Aquariums

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically focused on training and enrichment, behavioral husbandry has become a standard fixture in zoos and aquariums. Enrichment planning has explicitly incorporated species' natural history since its inception. Despite this, many enrichment strategies have traditionally been developed by starting with items to be placed in animal ...

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.
