A century on from Elton’s book, Animal Ecology, the questions that shaped #animalecology still drive discovery. We welcome submissions to an upcoming Special Feature that revisit, test, and extend classic ecological ideas and unanswered questions. buff.ly/KIsw6k2

🐿️ new research: "fine-scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape" 📝 read it here: buff.ly/V39rPkI

🚨 read our recently published review, "comparisons of wild and domestic ungulate zoogeochemical impacts rarely evaluate mechanisms underlying functional dissimilarity" 📝 buff.ly/s37iKd3

📖The number of strong social bonds is linked to survival in a cooperative bird Sociable weavers differ consistently in their relative number of strong social bonds and these differences are associated with survival 🕊️ 🌍 🐦‍⬛ 🔎 buff.ly/cQG5lun

🐭 Boldness and niche width structure spatial interactions in a natural rodent community These results suggest that boldness is most clearly linked to how individuals use space 👇️ buff.ly/biFT5yl

📖 Optimising daily sampling of plant–bee interaction networks This paper provides a framework to evaluate how temporal sampling design affects network representativeness in systems where interactions depend on time-of-day🖥️ 🌍 🐝 🔎 buff.ly/QvxSutV
