Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Inadequate monitoring of biodiversity is a characteristic of conservation the world over. The potential of acoustic monitoring is compelling, although the challenges remain substantial. Effective solutions require transdisciplinary collaboration among stakeholders, a focus on open‐source development, and flexible, multipronged technical ...

Quantifying permeability of linear barriers to animal movement: The permeability R package
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Animals have always navigated environments characterized by linear features that influence movement, whether rivers, ridges or ravines. Large‐scale changes in land use have led to increasing interactions with anthropogenic features, especially roads and fences.

Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.

Anticoagulant Rodenticides Contribute to a Decline in an Urban Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) have been shown to negatively affect carnivores globally and are closely tied to human activity and development. We examined drivers of annual survival in bobcats persisting on a residentially developed barrier island over 16 years.

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.
