Wolves infected with Toxoplasma gondii take more risks. Also they probably contract Toxo from cougars.. very interesting stuff! 🧪🌎 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

👉 One trait — how quickly females reproduce again — was better predicted by proportional rank. So reproduction isn’t just about resource access, but also social constraints (e.g. ability to nurse cubs at communal den). Take-home: “rank” isn’t one thing—metrics shape the story. 5/5

New #hyena study out @ecol-evol.bsky.social ! 📢🧪 What does it mean to be “high-ranking”? And does it always predict reproductive success? 🤔 Turns out: how you *measure* rank can change the answer. 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 1/5

How long do Sunda clouded #leopards live? 🐆📷 By photo-tracking this elusive carnivore over many years, we gained new insights into #survival and #demography, and documented the oldest known individual to date: a 6.51-year-old female. @kathikasper.bsky.social. Read here: doi.org/10.1111/btp....

Tracking #seabirds has become increasingly important to collect data about their space use - but how to attach the #loggers? Colleagues from @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social have developed a clamp system, which helps to keep loggers in place for several weeks to months. seapop.no/en/2026/03/n...

Meta-analysis is ubiquitous in ecology, but it is poor at determining which conservation interventions work in which contexts That’s why we’ve developed Precision Ecology, using methods developed in, eg, medicine to inform precise, data-informed conservation www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Out in @natcomms.nature.com, a collaborative paper showing that, across 73 species (including common terns), warmer years are associated with earlier phenology, and that populations in which such an association was observed have often been stable or increasing: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Led by Viktoriia Radchuk, an international collaboration shows phenological shifts in response to changing temperatures allow populations to remain stable or even increase in numbers. Support from #sDiv @idiv-research.bsky.social

In Nature Communications, our paper led by Viktoriia Radchuk shows that phenological change mediates global vertebrate responses to temperature. The study compiles 213 time series of phenotypes and population sizes, including data from Bylot. Read: urls.fr/w7ZKp9 @natcomms.nature.com 🧪🌿🌎🌐🦉🦑🦊🐻‍❄️
