Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

Bird diversity hot spots in a recovering subtropical forest do not align with protected area zoning, instead occurring in experimental zones with low‐intensity human activity. This mismatch is driven by contrasting responses: Abundant core species are supported by productivity, while many species of low frequency are attracted to the habitat ...

Preemptive Entry and Technology Diffusion: The Market for Drive‐In Theaters
ABSTRACT This article studies entry preemption in new industries. We first test a key prediction of dynamic entry games: Entry preemption is most relevant in intermediate‐sized markets, where firms face highest uncertainty about future entry. Using US drive‐in theater market (1945–1957) data, we find robust evidence for this non‐monotonic relationship ...

Abstract Understanding the drivers of change in communities is a major goal of paleoecology and community ecology, but statistical inference from multivariate time series is challenged by relative (rather than absolute) abundance data, observation uncertainty and missing data due to uneven sampling through time.

Geometric overdispersion facilitates the integration of ecological data
Abstract Statistical data integration facilitates inference based on the variety of data prevalent in ecology. In particular, integrated distribution models (IDMs) have been proposed for inferring spatial patterns in abundance using combinations of noisy count, presence–absence and presence–only data.

Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators
We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.

Abstract Background and aims On 9 June 2022, Thailand changed its cannabis legislation, expanding access to individuals aged >18 years. Evidence suggests that such changes could increase the risk of cannabis use and related harms, and could influence patterns of use of other substances among adolescents.

Abstract Background and aims Individuals who engage in illicit or nonmedical opioid use may have elevated risk of health and social consequences, including progression to opioid use disorder (OUD). Preventive interventions to reduce this risk are lacking. This trial tested the impact of a primary care‐integrated collaborative care approach for reducing
