Decision analysis rooted in Indigenous and Western scientific knowledge identifies cost‐effective strategies for managing hyperabundant deer to restore keystone places

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 4-20, January 2026.
Abstract The hyperabundance of herbivores—a result of altered human relationality with the land and the extirpation of predators—is leading to large‐scale degradation of keystone ecosystems across the globe. Designing and implementing socially acceptable and cost‐effective strategies that meaningfully reduce herbivore populations while allowing for the

A Decade of Post‐Fire Succession Amplifies the Effect of Wildfire on the Surface Radiation Balance and Permafrost Thaw in Subarctic Peatlands

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 124-142, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing wildfire activity is driving permafrost thaw in subarctic peatlands across the southern Northwest Territories, but the key mechanisms and progression of thaw following fire remain poorly understood. In response, 10 years (2015–2024) of near‐continuous surface (four‐component radiation, wind, and snow) and subsurface measurements ...

Integrating predator energetic balance, risk‐taking behaviour and microhabitat in functional response to untangle indirect interactions in a multispecies vertebrate community

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 70-82, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Predator–prey interactions in natural communities are complex, with predators often exploiting multiple prey types and generating indirect interactions among them. Ecological theory has traditionally modelled these interactions using functional response models which are

Reducing bias in shorebird nest survival rates across a large Arctic landscape

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 25-41, January 2026.
Reproductive success is a key demographic parameter that can have profound impacts on a species' population trend. Indeed, poor reproductive success has been suggested as a contributing factor to the declines observed in many species of birds, including Arctic‐breeding shorebirds.
