  1. Reduced enemy pressure did not explain range shifts
    Study of nine alpine plant species finds that reduced leaf damage at warm range edges does not explain why some plants shift downhill during climate change.
  2. Thermal imagery did not raise culling rates in this tropical study
    Study compares thermal camera versus visual detection in aerial culling of feral deer and pigs in tropical Queensland, finding no significant efficiency gains under tested conditions.
  3. Epicormic foliage chemistry varies after fire
    Post-fire epicormic eucalypt foliage exhibits species-dependent chemical composition affecting folivore nutritional access during forest recovery in southeastern Australia.
  4. Trace mineral levels varied by species and time in free-living herbivores
    Long-term study establishing species-specific reference intervals for trace minerals and heavy metals in liver tissue of free-living herbivores at Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve in the.
