Multispecies transboundary landscape connectivity in the KAZA TFCA

Scientific Reports
This study aimed to delineate multi-species corridors across the KAZA landscape to be included in land use planning and identify which wildlife dispersal areas (WDA) are most critical for seven key mammal species across KAZA.

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Asymmetric species turnover underpins the latitudinal diversity gradient in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot of India

Ecography, EarlyView.
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs), namely an increase in species richness from higher to lower latitudes, are one of ecology's best documented patterns, yet how the fundamental components of compositional mismatches (i.e. species gains and losses along a gradient) explain these patterns remains poorly understood.

Female reproductive physiology in the aardvark (Orycteropus afer): A novel case report

Theriogenology Wild
There 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 ...

Rising, falling, stalling: complex biodiversity trajectories in English rivers

Ecography, EarlyView.
Freshwater ecosystems face intense anthropogenic pressures. Yet in parts of Europe, including the UK, studies have documented widespread increases in macroinvertebrate diversity following investments to improve water quality. More recent analyses, however, suggest that these gains have slowed, plateaued, or even reversed. Despite increasing recognition

Hotspots and ecological drivers of human-sloth bear conflicts in Tamil nadu, India

Discover Conservation
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) poses a significant challenge to conservation and socioeconomic stability, primarily driven by anthropogenic pressures. Sloth bears (Melursus ursinus), classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN, frequently engage in conflict with

Pier pressure: 23 years of incidental sea turtle captures at recreational fishing piers along Florida’s Gulf coastline

Frontiers in Marine Science
Incidental captures of sea turtles during fishing activities affect their populations worldwide. Previous research has documented the impacts of commercial fisheries in nearshore and offshore waters, and research-based minimization measures are now ...

Taxon‐dependent multisite species turnover in fragmented habitats: comparing zeta diversity across birds, butterflies, and cursorial hunting spiders

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.
