Is Blood Thicker Than Water? The Influence of Kin Within a Bull Shark Social Network
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study investigates how kinship (“kinfluence”) shapes social structure in an aggregation of adult bull sharks in Fiji by integrating genomic relatedness, pedigree reconstruction, and detailed behavioral data. It reveals that while genetic relatedness has a small but significant influence on social behavior, especially among males, kin‐category ...

Challenges of collecting blow from small cetaceans
Ecosphere, 2019 We trialed the collection of blow samples using a waterproof electric multirotor (quadcopter) drone from two free‐ranging dolphin species, the abundant and approachable bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) and the less common and boat shy humpback ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Indigenous Knowledge systems contain deep, place‐based ecological insights developed over generations but remain underrepresented in biodiversity assessments and conservation planning. This study explores yulendji Bunwurrung (Bunurong knowledge) through five Stories shared by a Bunurong Elder, using thematic analysis and comparison with contemporary ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Filtering airDNA, as with other biomonitoring tools, requires rigorous methodological testing before widespread implementation. Here, we assess the comparative performance of three collection matrices: medical gauze, paraffin gauze and PCR plate seals, alongside four readily available extraction kits: Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue, Qiagen PowerSoil Pro,

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1311-1325, August 2026.Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.
