Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Economic incentives contribute little to reducing agricultural damage from invasive non‐native species: evidence from raccoon management in Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2588-2594, March 2026.
This study reveals the nonsignificant effects of economic incentives reducing crop damage by raccoons. Our results also show that while these incentives increase the number of captured raccoons, the additional captures fail to result in measurable reductions in agricultural damage. Abstract BACKGROUND An economic incentive scheme is utilized to enhance

Range‐Wide Assessment of the Tasmanian Devil Gut Microbiome

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We conducted a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiomes at 10 locations across Tasmania, utilizing molecular methods such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and diet metabarcoding to investigate the influences of diet, location, sex, and age. Contrary to the prevailing notion that diet is a main driver of gut microbiome differences, we found that ...

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.
