Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

Oikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate

Oikos, EarlyView.
Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...
