Abstract To reduce the risk of zoonoses, it is necessary to understand the infection process, including the ecology of animals and vectors (i.e., the ‘One Health’ approach). In temperate climates, ticks are the major vectors of zoonose... Read More

on Sep 8, 2022
Accurate descriptions of home ranges can provide important information for understanding animal ecology and behavior and contribute to the formulation of conservation strategies. We used the grid cell method and kernel density estimation (KDE) to est... Read More
Comparative digestive morphology and physiology of five species of Peromyscus under controlled environment and diet.
- Comparative biochemistry and physiology. Part A, Molecular & integrative physiology
- VOL. 271
on Sep 1, 2022
Digestive morphology and physiology differ across animal species, with many comparative studies uncovering relationships between animal ecology or diet, and the morphology and physiology of the gastrointestinal tract. However, many of these studies c... Read More
Satellite tracking reveals sex-specific migration distance in green turtles (Chelonia mydas).
- Biology letters
- VOL. 18
on Sep 1, 2022
Satellite tracking is a key tool for studying sea turtles in the wild. Most tracking has been performed on adult females however, leaving knowledge gaps regarding other population segments, such as adult males. By satellite tracking 12 male green tur... Read More

Vegetation and vantage point influence visibility across diverse ecosystems: Implications for animal ecology
- Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
- VOL. 10
on Aug 24, 2022
Visual information can influence animal behavior and habitat use in diverse ways. Visibility is the property that relates 3D habitat structure to accessibility of visual information. Despite the importance of visibility in animal ecology, this proper... Read More
Variations in cost of transport and their ecological consequences: a review
- Journal of Experimental Biology
- VOL. 225
on Aug 1, 2022
ABSTRACT Movement is essential in the ecology of most animals, and it typically consumes a large proportion of individual energy budgets. Environmental conditions modulate the energetic cost of movement (cost of transport, COT), and th... Read More
Diet variation in a critically endangered marine predator revealed with stable isotope analysis.
- Royal Society open science
- VOL. 9
on Aug 1, 2022
Understanding the foraging ecology of animals gives insights into their trophic relationships and habitat use. We used stable isotope analysis to understand the foraging ecology of a critically endangered marine predator, the Māui dolphin. We analyse... Read More

History and significance of tropical cave biology
- ARPHA Conference Abstracts
- VOL. 5
on Jul 14, 2022
“Nothing could possibly live there!” They said. Indeed, until recently, few specialized cave-adapted animals were known from volcanic, tropical, or oceanic island caves, and plausible theories had been put forward to explain their absence. But assume... Read More
Trees and people determine the feeding activity of a migratory bird in an urban mega-park of Mexico city
- Avian Biology Research
- VOL. 15
on Jul 14, 2022
Feeding research is relevant to comprehend wildlife use of urban systems and to guide management practices. Coupling foraging with habitat assessments is important because environmental conditions affect animal access to food, leading to variations ... Read More
