Surviving winter on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: Pikas suppress energy demands and exploit yak feces to survive winter
JR Speakman, Q Chi, Ł Ołdakowski… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with low precipitation, low oxygen partial pressure, and
temperatures routinely dropping below− 30° C in winter, presents several physiological …

Beyond MAP: A guide to dimensions of rainfall variability for tropical ecology
Tropical ecologists have long recognized rainfall as the key climate filter shaping tropical
ecosystem structure and function across space and time. Still, tropical ecologists have …

Advances in biologging can identify nuanced energetic costs and gains in predators
Foraging is a key driver of animal movement patterns, with specific challenges for predators
which must search for mobile prey. These patterns are increasingly impacted by global …

An implantable neurophysiology platform: Broadening research capabilities in free-living and non-traditional animals
Animal-borne sensors that can record and transmit data (“biologgers”) are becoming smaller
and more capable at a rapid pace. Biologgers have provided enormous insight into the …

Context-dependent variability in the predicted daily energetic costs of disturbance for blue whales
Assessing the long-term consequences of sub-lethal anthropogenic disturbance on wildlife
populations requires integrating data on fine-scale individual behavior and physiology into …

Time–energy budgets outperform dynamic body acceleration in predicting daily energy expenditure in kittiwakes, and estimate a very low cost of gliding flight relative …
Energy is a common currency for any living organism, yet estimating energy expenditure in
wild animals is challenging. Accelerometers are commonly used to estimate energy …

When death comes: linking predator–prey activity patterns to timing of mortality to understand predation risk
The assumption that activity and foraging are risky for prey underlies many predator–prey
theories and has led to the use of predator–prey activity overlap as a proxy of predation risk …

Density‐dependent plasticity in territoriality revealed using social network analysis
Territories are typically defined as spatially exclusive areas that are defended against
conspecifics. Given the spatial nature of territoriality, it is inherently density dependent, but …

Behavioral rhythms of an opportunistic predator living in anthropogenic landscapes
Background Human activities have profoundly altered the spatio-temporal availability of food
resources. Yet, there is a clear lack of knowledge on how opportunistic species adapt to …
