Human hunters are no substitute for vanishing apex predators
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Our study reveals that human hunters fail to replicate the collective and individual ecological functions of natural apex predators in sustaining biodiversity and promoting stable spatial patterns. These insights are vital for rethinking predator conservation and wildlife management in human‐dominated landscapes.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Ecological differences between species may result in differential impacts of control measures. Our experimental study showed that intensive removal of rodents from houses (mostly Rattus rattus) resulted in increased use of houses by Mastomys natalensis, a species usually found outdoors. Our results suggest that M.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.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 ...
