Human hunters are no substitute for vanishing apex predators
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1807-1819, September 2026.Our study reveals that human hunters fail to replicate the collective and individual ecological functions of natural apex predators in sustaining biodiversity and promoting stable spatial patterns. These insights are vital for rethinking predator conservation and wildlife management in human‐dominated landscapes.

How big is enough? Movement‐informed zoning for African swine fever mitigation
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.Our results highlight the need for context‐specific adaptive infectious buffer area. 8 km buffers around infected carcasses can limit the risk of infected wild boar dispersal but can be reduced to 5 km in highly heterogeneous landscapes or areas of high human impact. Larger buffers may be required in agricultural landscapes.

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 629-639, September 2026.ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...

Political Animals: To Live & Die in More‐Than‐Human Worlds
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 660-667, September 2026.ABSTRACT What does it mean to live—and therefore die—in a more‐than‐human world? This review essay explores that question through reflections on teaching Political Animals: Species, Class, Race, and Gender, an undergraduate course that introduces students to scholarship on human‐nonhuman relations.

Clinical Burden of Symptomatic HEV‐3 Infection in Southern Spain
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 792-799, September 2026.Clinical burden of symptomatic HEV‐3 infection in southern Spain. Between 2022 and 2025, 1124 patients with acute hepatitis, defined as ALT ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal and negative screening for HAV, HBV, HCV, EBV and CMV, were evaluated in Andalusia.
