  1. Dingo-exposed wombats showed stronger scent investigation
    Study examines whether wombats isolated from dingoes for 80 years have lost predator recognition, finding they retain discrimination but show reduced environmental vigilance.
  2. Two enzyme assays validated for stress monitoring in rehabilitated pangolins
    Enzyme immunoassays validate non-invasive stress monitoring in rehabilitated Temminck's pangolins using fecal glucocorticoid metabolites, revealing handling-induced stress responses and improving.
  3. Howler monkey females change flower eating across reproductive states
    Female mantled howler monkeys adjust flower consumption across reproductive states, with early lactation linked to higher intake and late lactation to elevated tannin consumption.
  4. 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.
  5. Temperature linked to activity shifts in black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys
    Age-sex variation in activity budgets and dietary responses to temperature in black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys, with distinct physiological demands across classes.
  6. Drimolen fossils show mixed hominin postcranial remains
    Analysis of 28 postcranial fossils from Drimolen Main Quarry, South Africa, dated 2 million years ago, revealing locomotor capabilities and skeletal morphology of Paranthropus robustus and early Homo.
  7. 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.
  8. Porcupine density and behavior varied across Punjab habitats
    Study of Indian crested porcupine population density, reproductive timing, and parental behavior across diverse Punjab habitats reveals seasonal variation and flexible social organization patterns.
  9. Amazonian caimans differ in body-temperature regulation
    Study of three Amazonian caiman species reveals distinct thermoregulation strategies correlated with habitat and size, including vascular heat storage mechanisms.
