Effects of urbanization on resource use and individual specialization in coyotes (Canis latrans) in southern California
RN Larson, JL Brown, T Karels, SPD Riley - PLoS One, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Urban environments are unique because fragments of natural or semi-natural habitat are
embedded within a potentially permeable matrix of human-dominated areas, creating …

Resource diversity promotes among‐individual diet variation, but not genomic diversity, in lake stickleback
Many generalist species consist of specialised individuals that use different resources. This
within‐population niche variation can stabilise population and community dynamics …

Beyond ecological opportunity: Prey diversity rather than abundance shapes predator niche variation
Ecological opportunity (ie the diversity of available resources) has a pivotal role in sha**
niche variation and trophic specialisation of animals. However, ecological opportunity can …

Demographic, ecological, and physiological responses of ringed seals to an abrupt decline in sea ice availability
To assess whether demographic declines of Arctic species at the southern limit of their
range will be gradual or punctuated, we compared large-scale environmental patterns …
