A test of the green wave hypothesis in omnivorous brown bears across North America
Herbivorous animals tend to seek out plants at intermediate phenological states to improve
energy intake while minimizing consumption of fibrous material. In some ecosystems, the …

Livestock grazing modifies soil nematode body size structure in mosaic grassland habitats
Body size is closely related to the trophic level and abundance of soil fauna, particularly
nematodes. Therefore, size-based analyses are increasingly prominent in unveiling soil …

Don't stop me now: Managed fence gaps could allow migratory ungulates to track dynamic resources and reduce fence related energy loss
In semi-arid environments characterized by erratic rainfall and scattered primary production,
migratory movements are a key survival strategy of large herbivores to track resources over …

Refining the stress gradient hypothesis for mixed species groups of African mammals
C Kiffner, DM Boyle, K Denninger-Snyder, BM Kissui… - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
Species interactions such as facilitation and predation influence food webs, yet it is unclear
how they are mediated by environmental gradients. Here we test the stress gradient …

Where the Grass is Greener—Large-Scale Phenological Patterns and Their Explanatory Potential for the Distribution of Paleolithic Hunter-Gatherers in Europe
A unique property of the Paleolithic record is the possibility to observe human societies in
large areas and over long periods of time. At these large spatial and temporal scales, a …
