Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 629-641, September 2026.
Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Neosporosis bovina: conceptos generales, inmunidad y perspectivas para la vacunación Bovine neosporosis: general concepts, immunity and perspectives for vaccination

Revista Argentina de Microbiología, 2005
Neospora caninum es agente causal de aborto en bovinos de regiones ganaderas de todo el mundo. Su ciclo de vida es heteroxeno siendo el perro (Canis familiaris) y el coyote (Canis latrans) los hospedadores definitivos reconocidos hasta el presente.

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Ghost in the Prairie: Using Community Science and MaxEnt to Model the Habitat of a Rare Mesopredator

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) have experienced severe range declines in Texas, making identification of suitable habitat critical for conservation and potential reintroduction efforts. We used maximum entropy modeling with community science data from iNaturalist and remotely sensed environmental variables to predict the potential distribution of swift ...

Comparative foraging ecology of lynx and coyotes in three Gulf of Alaska national parks

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Consumers exhibit varying degrees of dietary specialization, with foraging strategies shaped by both evolutionary history and local food availability. In boreal systems, Canada lynx are considered snowshoe hare specialists, whereas coyotes are classically generalist foragers capable of exploiting diverse resources.

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.

This is fine: Mule deer and elk do not substantially change their behavior in response to active wildfires

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.
