Behavioural Changes Across Gestation and Lactation in a Colony of Female Northern Bats (Eptesicus nilssonii)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We studied how female northern bats, Eptesicus nilssonii, deal with the energetic demands of raising a pup over the short summer period in southern Norway. Our results display an interesting pattern in which female bats increase their foraging time after parturition in comparison to the gestation period.

Food Subsidy Effects on Host Foraging Behavior Shape Host–Macroparasite Infection Dynamics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wildlife behavioral responses to different distributions of food subsidies could shape encounter and infection intensity of environmentally transmitted parasites. Using a mathematical model, we show that the way in which food subsidy changes transmission rate and variation in parasite burdens (e.g., through changes in time spent foraging and variation ...

Foxes and food subsidies: anthropogenic food use by red and Arctic foxes, and effects on Arctic fox survival, on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013Food subsidies have the potential to impact wildlife on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)) expanded their range into Arctic regions during the 20th century, and the ...

Habitat‐Dependent Provisioning Patterns Are Modulated by Weather Conditions in a Rapidly Declining Farmland Raptor

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We monitored parental food provisioning of Little Owls in four European countries with contrasting farmland structure using nestbox cameras and demonstrated that across all countries, provisioning rate and biomass increased with the area of high‐quality habitats.

The amount of reachable habitat determines population fate

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
The scientific community remains divided on the most effective way to design landscapes for biodiversity conservation or restoration. Although there is a consensus that habitat loss is the main cause of biodiversity decline worldwide, the extent to which fragmentation (i.e.

The Visual Umwelt of primates and Hippocampal Representations of Space

open access: yesHippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Evolution sculpts the brain's sensory adaptations. Because these adaptations differ markedly across species, it is challenging for humans to fully comprehend how other animals perceive the world. For a nocturnal mouse, the subjective sensory world—its Umwelt—is dominated by odors, sounds, and textures, with visual input playing a secondary ...

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

Do eagle owls select larger water voles?

open access: yesFauna Norvegica
Optimal foraging theory predicts that a hunter should hunt the energetically most profitable prey, often the larger size classes. The eagle owl is a formidable hunter of water voles.
