Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Survival Remains High in Griffon Vultures 40 Years After Reintroduction
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The reintroduction of the Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) in French Grands Causses in 1981 is largely regarded as a significant translocation success. 40 years of quality data from intensive monitoring allows us to investigate the survival rates in this long‐lived population on the long term, but also to reflect on the crucial role of adaptive management

Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.

From Natural to Human‐Dominated Seascapes: Habitat Loss for Guiana Dolphins Over Two Decades
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Changes in natural environments, such as coastal and marine zones, caused by human activities impact the quality of habitats and their inhabitants, ultimately jeopardising species conservation. As human activity is ever‐increasing, it is imperative to understand how multiple stressors, such as shipping, fisheries and pollution, affect marine ...

High resolution data reveal fundamental steps and turns in animal movements
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract Animal movement paths display substantial complexity and variability, promoting efforts to identify universal rules and models that best describe them. Using high‐resolution (≥10 Hz) movement from 43 vertebrate species spanning diverse taxa, body sizes, and lifestyles, we show that paths are universally composed of straight‐line steps ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1328-1348, May 2026.Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...

Hunting and fishing harvest data collection: a horizon scanning exercise from the French context
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.Legal and societal moves increasingly lead leisure hunting and fishing practitioners to record their harvest. The total number of individuals harvested per population per year is the minimum required information to feed into demographic models and allow science‐based management. Some few schemes record more detailed data, hence allowing better‐informed

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.Global warming, habitat fragmentation, and interspecific competition with the European hare may reduce connectivity among suitable habitats for the mountain hare, increasing the risk of inbreeding and extinction. We evaluated how environmental heterogeneity and interspecific competition influence gene flow in alpine hares.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.In the wild, individuals consistently differ in movement and space use behaviours, depending on their personality. This variation can lead to personality–habitat associations and spatial structuring, potentially generating individual niche segregation.

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.
