Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We used automated behavioral response systems (ABRs) to assess invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) behavioral response to four auditory playbacks: humans, coyote vocalizations (Canis latrans), pigs in distress, and barred owl (Strix varia) calls. Wild pigs had a significant flight response to human playbacks, but 68% of pigs did not flee.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We staged dyadic interaction trials between two kangaroo rat species threatened by habitat loss to test whether one species dominates in direct interactions in the field. We found that Stephens’ kangaroo rat (Dipodomys stephensi) residents and intruders were dominant over Dulzura kangaroo rat (Dipodomys simulans). These results suggest that D. simulans

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with deep corollas are frequently associated with nectar robbing, a behaviour that often reduces pollen transfer and seed production. Robbing scars, however, may further affect plant reproductive success through rainwater entry into corolla tubes.

When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

The Impact of AI‐Assisted L2 Learning on Learners’ Emotions: A Meta‐Analysis
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The scope of research on AI‐assisted second/foreign language (L2/FL) learning has expanded beyond learning outcomes to focus on learners’ emotional experiences. Despite their proliferation, existing empirical findings are inconsistent, and few studies have systematically synthesized the impacts of AI‐assisted L2 learning on learners’ emotional

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT Nature conservation conflicts increasingly extend beyond ecological objectives to disputes over decision‐making legitimacy, institutional authority, and competing understandings of landscape and expertise. This article examines the conflict over the proposed designation of Křivoklátsko as a national park in the Czech Republic between 2021 and ...
