3 decades of data 😮 on this fairy-wren population showed how many cumulative effects of climate change (lower food supply, chick rearing, higher pesticides) can lead to population decline, even for a species categorised as “least concern” on the IUCN Red List 🥺 🌏🧪🦜 news.mongabay.com/2026/08/supe...

#Dominance hierarchies can have unexpected consequences. Malay Pandey found that intraspecific competition in Allenby gerbils can lead to asymmetric exposure to oil polluted patches, where the dominant individuals are the ones more exposed to the #pollution. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Water sources in #deserts are critical for #wildlife survival, but they may also attract thousands of visitors. Yuval Zukerman tested the impacts of different visitor management strategies on wildlife activity in a popular desert nature reserve. l1nq.com/v0ldccb @conservationsp.bsky.social

How is behavioural diversity affected by human-induced change? Oded Berger-Tal and co-authors review how anthropogenic disturbances can impact behavioural diversity through the evolutionary forces of selection, flow, mutation and drift. doi.org/10.1098/rspb... @bbmwong.bsky.social

Recently out in #animalbehaviour: Yuval Zukerman investigated Interindividual variation in tolerance behavior of #NubianIbex inhabiting human settlements and found that the way humans behave shapes the behavior of the ibex, leading to separate social cliques. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What happens when you bring together image processing experts, social scientists, geospatial wizards, and behavioral ecologists and ask them to find solutions for human-wolves conflict at desert campsites? This paper to start with: bit.ly/42Xj4oL and hopefully mitigation tools will follow soon.

We tend to think that we understand how urbanization impacts biodiversity, but our knowledge is based almost solely on research from temperate systems. This creates strong biases. Wonderful new work by ‪@elliediamant.bsky.social‬ in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
