Journal of Animal Ecology publishes the best #AnimalEcology research that develops, tests and advances broad ecological principles. A @britishecologicalsociety.org journal.
@animalecology.bsky.socialAt a remote field station deep in the Ordos wilderness, during those long, lizard-monitoring days, a stray dog stepped in and became the author's very own dedicated field assistant. They turned this story into a blog post — come and read it! 🦎

Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke
This paper found that wolves altered their habitat use in ways that offset fire-related risks🏔️ 🐺 🔥
@animalecology.bsky.social🚨 new blog!
🦌 the loss of ungulate migration has far-reaching impacts, including a reduction in elemental transport, as new research led by @kristyferraro and Andre Corradini shows.

@tashgillies.bsky.socialReposted by @animalecology.bsky.socialFollowing up on our recent paper, I wrote a post for @animalecology.bsky.social’s Animal Ecology in Focus blog on how albatrosses coordinate in differing environments 🌍Check it out for an accessible breakdown of the study (or just to look at some cute albatross chicks)! 🐣

@rbergeron.bsky.socialReposted by @animalecology.bsky.socialWhy do strong individual drivers fail to predict population recruitment? 🦘🌿
In our new paper in in @animalecology.bsky.social, we show how maternal & environmental effects shape individual success, and discuss why most don't scale up to population level in kangaroos!
@animalecology.bsky.socialJean-Dominique Lebreton and Madan K. Oli and tell the #StoryBehindThePaper for their published article, “reproductive value as a key concept in ecology and evolutionary biology”, which breaks down the meaning of reproductive value.
