Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...

Wild boar impact on soil properties in a grassy area: interactions of rooting, slope position and shrub encroachment

open access: yesEcological Processes
Background Wild boar (Sus scrofa) rooting can have diverse effects on soil properties, which could be much more complex to predict in the presence of shrub encroachment and varied microtopography.

Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...

Incorporating Human Beliefs and Behaviors into Wildlife Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Like much of the global biosphere, wildlife species have experienced rapid declines during the Anthropocene. Wildlife ecologists have responded to these crises by developing a range of technologies, techniques, and large datasets, which together have ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.
