  1. Rapid evolution predicted recovery after drought
    Wild plant populations evolve rapidly during drought, and genetic variation at adaptive loci predicts demographic recovery. Study demonstrates evolutionary rescue in natural conditions.
  2. Human disturbance changes predator-prey overlap only in some body size pairs
    Meta-analysis of 480 predator-prey dyads reveals human disturbance restructures temporal niche partitioning according to body mass ratios, with differential consequences for large and small species.
  3. Sika deer use different antipredator behaviors in different situations
    Study reveals how sika deer use whistling, stotting, and rump flaring as context-dependent antipredator behaviors that vary with social conditions, signaler characteristics, and season.
