Unveiling the 'hidden' effects of subclinical infection - a movement ecology perspective
Parasitism is one of the most ubiquitous strategies across ecosystems. Yet, wildlife researchers often assume animals are healthy and performing optimally. In reality, many carry 'hidden' infections with masked symptoms that nevertheless affect movement capacity, potentially impacting host fitness.
Burned Area Increasingly Explained by Climate Change
Climate change is increasingly recognized as a key driver of wildfire activity. But the seemingly simple question, "How much has climate change altered burned area?" has not been answered before. Here, we provide a first quantification of this.
Decoding sex-specific metabolomic biomarkers in the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)
Is there a distinct metabolomic profile between male and female loggerhead turtles? Are there useful biomarkers for sex classification in this species?
