The Journal receives many pictures from authors as potential images for the Front Cover. We thought you might like to see these images and follow the links to see papers that you might not have considered reading. The copyright of these images belongs to each author and must be respected at all times. The links will take you to the abstract of the papers. Access to articles are free after two years.
Nils Bunnefeld et al ‘Factors affecting unintentional harvesting selectivity in a monomorphic species’ The study is not only relevant for red grouse but applies to systems showing interactions between selective harvesting and wider ecological processes, such as age- and sex-related parasitism and territoriality, which may drive population fluctuations.
Chris Darimont et al ‘Landscape heterogeneity and marine subsidy generate extensive intrapopulation niche diversity in a large terrestrial vertebrate’ Inquiries into niche variation within populations typically focus on proximate ecological causes such as competition. Here we examine how landscape heterogeneity and allochthonous (marine) subsidy might ultimately generate intrapopulation niche diversity.
Sergio Fabrizio et al ‘Predictors of floater status in a long-lived bird: a cross-sectional and longitudinal test of hypotheses’ Such results suggested that territory acquisition was mediated by the establishment of site-dominance through pre-emption and, secondarily, despotism. In this population, age and arrival date aligned individuals along a demographic continuum ranging from successful breeders monopolizing high-quality resources to floaters with no resources, consistent with the notion of floating as an extreme form of breeding failure.
Paul Cross et al ‘Tradeoffs of predation and foraging explain sexual segregation in African buffalo’ Male African buffalo appear to trade increased predation risk for additional energy gains in bachelor groups, which presumably leads to increased reproductive success.
Jim Sedinger et al Fidelity and breeding probability related to population density and individual quality in black brent geese (Branta bernicla nigricans) Our analyses show substantial variation in individual quality, which other analyses suggest are strongly influenced by early environment.
