Wildlife students as community scientists provide statewide detection data to help non‐invasively monitor Oklahoma bobcats

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin
Community science projects are ideal for collecting species data at large spatial scales and can connect the public with the management and conservation of native wildlife.

Mechanisms of Movement Patterns: Physiology and Sex Influence Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Movement

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...

Citizen‐Science Camera Trap Data Reveal Large‐Scale Activity Patterns of the Bobcat (Lynx rufus) Across Mexican Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated whether citizen science–derived camera‐trap records can be used to characterize large‐scale activity patterns of a widely distributed mesocarnivore across heterogeneous landscapes. Using 821 independent iNaturalist records, we quantified activity across six major vegetation types in Mexico with kernel density estimation, circular ...

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2148-2161, July 2026.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Detection of Felis catus Gammaherpesvirus 1 in Cats, but not Dogs, in Türkiye: Prevalence and Risk Factors

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
The current study was carried out to determine prevalence of Felis catus gammaherpesvirus 1 (FcaGHV1) in Turkish domestic cats and dogs and to investigate potential risk factors that are associated with the detection of FcaGHV1. FcaGHV1‐specific DNA was detected in 4 (7.4%, 95% confidence interval 0.4–14.4) of the 54 feline blood samples by TaqMan real‐

Drought and growing season phenology over 35 years modulates species interactions among domestic and wild herbivores

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1194-1206, July 2026.
Using a unique 35‐year dataset, this study shows that domestic livestock do not facilitate wild large herbivores as predicted by the grazing optimization hypothesis. Instead, competition caused avoidance of cattle by elk which intensified under drought, and highlights how climate change influences interactions among domestic and wild large herbivores ...

Individual Identification of Prey in Carnivore Scats

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Noninvasive genetic sampling is widely used in ecology and conservation to identify predators and their diets but recovering individual‐level information from consumed prey remains largely unexplored. We evaluated whether individual prey can be reliably genotyped from carnivore scats and assessed limitations associated with degraded and mixed ...
