Background: Mosquito-borne orthobunyaviruses in Canada are a growing public health
concern. Orthobunyaviral diseases are commonly underdiagnosed and in Canada, likely …

A fundamental question of current ecological research concerns the drives and limits of
species responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC). Behavioural …

Scatter‐hoarding small mammals act as both seed predators and seed dispersers in forest
ecosystems. Their choices regarding consuming or caching seeds must balance the risk of …

Small mammals are key scatter hoarders in forest ecosystems, acting as both seed
predators and dispersers. The outcome of their interactions (ie, predation vs. dispersal) is …

Millions of dams impair watershed connectivity across the globe and have severely affected
migratory fish populations. Fishways offer upstream passage opportunities, but artificial …

Behavioural syndromes theory predicts animals will exhibit sets of correlated risk-taking
behaviours, with individuals displaying a constant willingness to take risks across different …

Conservationists rarely consider the roles individuals, with their own unique behavior,
physiology, and genome, play in shaping ecosystem processes and consequently …

Ecologists commonly assess ecological patterns at the population level, focusing on the
average response of all individuals within a population, but to predict how populations will …

Understanding ageing and the diversity of life histories is a cornerstone in biology.
Telomeres, the protecting caps of chromosomes, are thought to be involved in ageing …

Understanding factors affecting the functional diversity of ecological communities is an
important goal for ecologists and conservationists. Previous work has largely been …
