The mammalian gut teems with microbes, yet how hosts acquire these symbionts remains
poorly understood. Research in primates suggests that microbes can be picked up via social …

Recent studies have provided an unprecedented view of the microbial communities
colonizing captive mice; yet the host and environmental factors that shape the rodent gut …

Home range (HR) size variation is often linked to resource abundance, with sex differences
expected to relate to sex‐specific fitness consequences. However, studies generally fail to …

Heterogeneous aggregation of parasites between individual hosts is common and regarded
as an important factor in understanding transmission dynamics of vector-borne diseases …

Species identity is thought to dominate over environment in shaping wild rodent gut
microbiota, but it remains unknown whether the responses of host gut microbiota to shared …

Extinction risk in African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) has been linked to their wide-ranging
movement behavior. However, drivers of variability in African wild dog ranging are not well …

Rodents respond quickly to changes in habitat structure after wildfires. They constitute
important prey items for vertebrate predators and influence vegetation structure and …

Conservation of wildlife depends on an understanding of the interactions between animal
movements and key landscape factors. Habitat requirements of wide‐ranging species often …

Small rodents play a key role in forest ecosystems as common prey, but also as prevalent
seed consumers and dispersers. Hence, there is a great interest in disentangling the factors …

Accurately recording the social and mating behavior of wild animals is necessary to test
hypotheses regarding the evolution of monogamous behavior but documenting the behavior …
