Behavioral and Historical Processes Jointly Maintain Genetic Connectivity in Fragmented Chinese Water Deer Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We challenge a major paradigm in mammalian ecology by demonstrating female‐biased dispersal in an artiodactyl, the endangered Chinese water deer. This key behavioral mechanism drives high gene flow across a fragmented landscape, effectively creating a genetic rescue effect that maintains population connectivity and counters inbreeding.

Intra‐ and Interspecific Spatial Temporal Interactions Drive Habitat Selection of Three Sympatric Top Predators

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The population distribution and habitat selection of top predators are critically important for species conservation and habitat management. While previous studies have identified environmental characteristics and food resources as factors influencing animal habitat selection, the roles of potential intra‐ and interspecific competition have ...

The abundance and sett ecological characteristics of the Asian badger (Meles leucurus) in the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park (NE China)

Global Ecology and Conservation
The sett is a crucial resource for badgers, serving various functions and significantly influencing their spatial ecology. The selection of sett sites is also a complex behavior.

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (Cuon alpinus Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.

Visioning ecologically diverse and harmonious futures of Korea in Good Anthropocene

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1379-1402, May 2026.
Abstract The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer between North and South Korea, holds profound historical, cultural and ecological significance, as well as exceptional potential for conservation and transformation. This study explores ecologically diverse and peaceful futures for the Korean Peninsula by envisioning the DMZ as a landscape for ...

Whole-genome analysis of Escherichia coli isolated from wild Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) and North China leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis)

PeerJ
Background Escherichia coli is an important intestinal flora, of which pathogenic E. coli is capable of causing many enteric and extra-intestinal diseases. Antibiotics are essential for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by pathogenic E.

Genome‐Wide Analysis Successfully Resolves Population Structure Shaped by Recent Divergence in the Endangered Bagrid Catfish Pseudobagrus ichikawai

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Using genome‐wide SNP data, we revealed previously undetected population structure in the endangered bagrid catfish Pseudobagrus ichikawai. Our results suggest that past paleo‐river systems shaped the current genetic connectivity across the Ise Bay area, while low genetic diversity indicates historical bottlenecks and recent inbreeding.
