Modification and expansion of existing body condition scoring scales for rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) improves inter‐rater reliability when used by experienced raters

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reliable body condition scoring in rabbits is essential in managing healthy bodyweight. The commonly used Rabbit size‐o‐meter (RSOM) has shown poor inter‐rater reliability, particularly among inexperienced raters. This study aimed to develop a reliable, reproducible body condition scoring scale for companion rabbits across breeds ...

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Delineating seasonal shifts in reindeer habitat and diet selection by integrating GPS telemetry and stable isotope analysis

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

The effect of simulated intergroup encounters on movement patterns and home range use in banded mongooses

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Intergroup conflicts have a wide range of impacts, including affecting movement and ranging patterns. Previous studies found contrasting movement responses to intergroup conflicts, but no explanation for these differences has been suggested. However, these can be broadly grouped into ‘conflict avoidance' responses: avoiding areas close to the fight ...

Local Ecological Knowledge Reveals the Distribution of Cryptic Nocturnal Wildlife 局域生态知识揭示隐秘夜行野生动物的分布

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.
