Faunivores are active longer than herbivores across the daily cycle in a Neotropical savanna–forest mammal community

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Daily activity budgets reflect how animals balance internal physiological demands with external environmental pressures. We analyzed 14 037 camera‐trap records from 12 mammal species in the Venezuelan Llanos to evaluate the effects of foraging strategy (faunivore versus herbivore), season, and body mass on daily activity duration, to describe diel ...

Jaguar Densities and Land Cover Change in a Multi‐Use Landscape: A 10‐Year Comparison in the Colombian Llanos 美洲豹种群密度与复合用地景观下的土地覆被变化:哥伦比亚亚诺斯地区10年比较研究

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used spatially explicit capture‐recapture to estimate jaguar densities in a private reserve in the Colombian Llanos and quantified land cover change in and around the reserve from 2014 to 2024. Densities increased 22% since 2014, while disturbed land cover increased by 39%–54% around the reserve depending on buffer distance. Our study indicates that

Isolation of lactic acid bacteria and quantification of Lentilactobacillus buchneri using qPCR in sorghum silage inoculated with native strains in tropical conditions

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The objective of this study was to isolate lactic bacteria, quantify the population of Lentilactobacillus buchneri by qPCR, and evaluate the effects of the inoculation of native strains of L. buchneri in sorghum silage.

Historical Development of Zoo Tapir (Tapirus ssp.) Survivorship

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
The survivorship of tapirs in zoos has improved significantly over historical time. ABSTRACT Tapirs (Tapirus spp.) are large, long‐lived herbivores native to Central and South America and Southeast Asia. All species are currently classified as Vulnerable (T. terrestris) or Endangered (other species) in the IUCN SSC Red List.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal 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.

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Phosphorus Requirement for Grass Establishment in Five Tropical Soils

Phosphorus (P) requirement of 4 grasses grown in 5 tropical soils was studied, in a pot trial. Each soil was screened, limed, fertilized with nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, sulphur and microelements.

Herbivore thermoregulation, movement behaviour and survival during a severe drought in Namibia

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Summary of behavioural and physiological responses of plains zebra (Equus quagga) and blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) during the cool drought, hot drought, and recovery periods in Etosha National Park, Namibia. Arrows illustrate relative changes in movement, while temperature diagrams depict seasonal variation in minimum (Tmin) and maximum ...
