Ecography, EarlyView.The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.

Ecography, EarlyView.The transferability of single or joint species distribution models ((j)SDMs) depends on their ability to predict beyond the observed environmental range and to remain consistent despite shifts in biotic interactions. Transfer accuracy may be improved by recent advances in the application of deep learning that provide greater flexibility and potentially

Female reproductive physiology in the aardvark (Orycteropus afer): A novel case report
Theriogenology WildThere is scarce literature describing reproductive biology in the aardvark (Orycteropus afer). Although knowledge from species-specific endocrine monitoring can be applied to in situ and ex situ programs, endocrine profiles have yet to be described for ...

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs
Ecography, EarlyView.Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Assessing the past and future impact of a long‐term island restoration program
Conservation Science and PracticeGiven the pressing biodiversity crisis and the limited resources made available to support conservation, impact evaluation is crucial in understanding the effectiveness of conservation strategies. The use of experimental and quasi‐experimental methods of

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Ecography, EarlyView.Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration
Ecography, EarlyView.Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.
