Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Predictive habitat occupancy models for North American river otters along inland streams in New Jersey

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The North American river otter Lontra canadensis is a semi‐aquatic furbearer species that historically ranged throughout North America. Starting in the mid‐1800s and continuing through the early 1900s, the negative effects associated with anthropogenic disturbances (i.e.

Climatic variation affects seasonal survival of an alpine bird species

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Mountains are particularly exposed to climate change, and empirical studies have shown that montane bird species are highly sensitive to the ongoing changes. Modelling mortality risks under climatic variation will give insight into species‐specific sensitivity. Willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

Population structure of the endangered Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans revealed by genomic and mitochondrial data

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans is an arboreal rodent with a distribution range that covers large parts of the Eurasian taiga forest zone. However, extensive forestry has resulted in widespread local population declines and extinctions in recent decades.

Finding the unusual red giant remnants of cataclysmic variable mergers

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Mergers between helium white dwarfs and main-sequence stars are likely common, producing red giant-like remnants making up roughly a few percent of all low-mass ($\lesssim2M_\odot$) red giants.
