Does Differential Habitat Selection Facilitate Coexistence Between Badgers and Hedgehogs? by Katie A. Lee, Antonio Uzal, Louise K. Gentle, Philip J. Baker, Richard J. Delahay, Anthony Sévêque, Robert S. Davis, Richard W. Yarnell

“…Eurasian badgers (Meles meles) are intraguild predators of European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) and are implicated in their population decline via both direct predation and competition for shared food resources. Previous studies have shown spatial separation between these species and attributed this to hedgehogs experiencing a ‘landscape of fear’, but little is known about the potential role of differential habitat use. …”

Contrasting Seasonal Distribution Patterns of Two Boreal Aerial Hawking Bat Species in Finland by Piia Lundberg, Miika Kotila, Katarina Meramo, Kati M. Suominen, Miina Suutari, Tia‐Marie Pietikäinen, Ville Vasko, Thomas M. Lilley

“…ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant consequences for temperate bat species, potentially altering their distribution ranges and generating novel interactions among species sharing similar ecological niches. Recent observations suggest distribution range expansion in the Palearctic aerial hawking bat, Pipistrellus nathusii, prompting an investigation into its interaction with Eptesicus nilssonii, a northern Palearctic species overlapping with the previous in many ecological characteristics. …”
