Kristin M. Winchell · BioScience · 2024-03 · open access
Recently, I was asked who my science heroes are. I had never really considered the question before, and I was somewhat confused that I did not have an answer. Of course, there are many people whose work I admire—but a hero? To me, a hero is someone you identify with and want to emulate; you want to…

Introduction Cities have now been recognized as biodiversity hotspots as they are providing habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. Cities provide habitat by the means of mosaics of ‘ecological niches’ which are generally formed by urban trees, public parks, private gardens, lawns, urban…

Thapa H, Crane AL, Achtymichuk GH et al. · Behavioral ecology : official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology · 2024-03 · open access
Living with a diverse array of predators provides a significant challenge for prey to learn and retain information about each predator they encounter. Consequently, some prey respond to novel predators because they have previous experience with a perceptually similar predator species, a phenomenon…
