Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Using Harvest Data to Assess Factors Influencing Regional Population Declines of Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) 利用捕获数据评估影响麝鼠 (Ondatra zibethicus) 区域种群数量下降的相关因素

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the

Context‐Dependent Effects of Beavers (Castor spp.) on Freshwater Pearl Mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European Rivers 河狸对欧洲河流中的淡水珍珠贝 (Margaritifera margaritifera) 存在情境依赖性影响

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
The study explores how beavers (Castor spp.) affect endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European rivers. Beaver dams can harm small, fragmented mussel populations by reducing flow, increasing sediment, and potentially limiting host fish movement, while larger populations may benefit from improved bed stability and ...

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Beyond observed diversity: Community completeness negatively affects ecosystem invasibility across scales

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Charles Elton proposed that species‐rich communities are more resistant to invasion, yet a well‐known paradox persists: native diversity suppresses invasion at small scales while correlating positively with non‐native species diversity at broad scales.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Waterbird zoogeochemical effects shape wetland nutrient dynamics and algal communities in Laurentian Great Lakes coastal freshwater wetlands

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATECRAFT AND CHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS: Chengdu's Ecological Preservation and Eco‐development

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article develops the concept of environmental statecraft to study changing urban environmental politics in China and beyond. Our review of existing conceptions reveals a growing need to account for temporal and geographical complexity. Neoliberal conceptions of eco‐state restructuring are increasingly strained by contemporary geopolitical
