Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Individual Identification of Prey in Carnivore Scats
Molecular 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 ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT Advances in non‐invasive genetic sampling and long‐term genetic monitoring programmes have enabled collection of large individual genotype datasets for many wildlife populations, often accompanied by rich field metadata that place the genotyped individuals in time and space.

Genomic Variation and Population Structure of Portuguese Native Dog Breeds
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT The presence of dogs in Portugal is confirmed by zooarchaeological evidence dating to at least 7600 years ago. The 11 native dog breeds that exist in this territory are therefore the end‐product of a complex evolutionary process. This study characterises the genomic diversity and population structure of 10 native breeds based on whole‐genome ...

Using information theory to select spatial scales for species–habitat responses with camera traps
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.Abstract Widespread anthropogenic landscape change, particularly from energy development, has fundamentally reshaped ecosystems, and understanding species responses remains a central ecological challenge. Remote camera traps are widely used to estimate mammal abundance and distribution, but inferring species–habitat relationships from these data is ...
