Exploration and docility in coexisting rodents Abstract. There is increasing interest in understanding how behaviour influences trade-offs that facilitate species coexistence. In the absence of spatiote

Behavioural traits such as exploration may, in part, facilitate coexistence across sympatric rodents. For example, deer mice are consistently more explorative than co-occurring red-backed voles and woodland jumping mice!

A graph depicting five panels with downward trends in suitable habitat area by year, with symbols indicating that each panel represents reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and birds. The symbol, in the top panel is a dragon.

There is an unfortunate error in this newly published @globalchangebio.bsky.social paper.

The caption for this image reads "upper panel with dragon icon symbolising all tetrapod" but this is incorrect. That is either a wyvern (with two wings and two legs) or it is not a tetrapod (6 limbs).

Accepted for publication: "Traffic reduction during Covid-19 lockdowns benefited species already tolerant of noise pollution: an acoustic analysis." Our newest paper, led by PhD student Pedro Santos, Gonçalo Cardoso, and Nicola Koper, is coming in 2026 to The American Naturalist. Congrats Pedro!

New paper out in Behaviour.

We evaluated behavioural and physiological differences between sexes in two species of rodent (deer mice and red-backed voles). For these income-breeding rodents, reproductive stage only explains some of these differences.

The clock is ticking: How epigenetics could help save wildlife from collapse In polar bears, dolphins, baboons and more, molecular signatures of aging are changing how conservationists assess population health, resilience and risk

A new article in @knowablemag.bsky.social that highlights some of @levinewediuk.bsky.social's PD work with me and @colingarroway.bsky.social, along with many other efforts to bring epigenetic clocks into conservation efforts.
