Population Density and Spatial–Temporal Niche Use of Ship Rats and Italian Wall Lizards on a Small Adriatic Island

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We quantified population density and spatial–temporal niche use of ship rats (Rattus rattus) and Italian wall lizards (Podarcis siculus) on a small uninhabited Adriatic islet using spatially explicit capture–recapture, distance sampling, and camera trapping.

Enhancing Intra‐Specific Population Genetic Studies of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Irish Waters by Integrating Least Invasive Sampling and Environmental DNA (eDNA)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Three populations of bottlenose dolphins are found in Irish waters. This study used direct sampling methods to expand the sample size and confirm the distinctiveness of these populations, including a range expansion outside of the Shannon Estuary SAC.

Three Decades of Monitoring Reveal That Differing Population Trends of Large Herbivores in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe, Are Related to Species Body Mass

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
For ~20 years after the severe 1992 drought, the estimated numbers of elephant, buffalo, eland, giraffe, greater kudu, nyala, warthog, waterbuck, wildebeest and zebra increased in Gonarezhou NP, Zimbabwe. After 2013/2014, the rate of change in the survey estimates declined for buffalo, eland, elephant, giraffe and zebra, but was not negative ...

Livestock Depredations and Prevention Strategies to Foster Human‐Carnivore Coexistence in Western Mongolia's High Mountain Systems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The implementation of visual deterrents (i.e., Foxlights) proved to be effective in reducing the number of night‐time livestock depredations by both snow leopards and wolves. ABSTRACT The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation.

Exploring the Quality of Historic DNA From Pinned Beetles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dry‐preserved museum specimens offer valuable but degraded DNA for genomic studies, making extraction method choice crucial. We found that an oligo‐focused silica‐column protocol yielded higher‐quality short DNA fragments than standard silica or precipitation methods, and that specimen age mainly reduced fragment length and locus recovery, while DNA ...

Species Extirpation and Colonization Reveal Mixed Homogenization and Differentiation Across Terrestrial Taxa After One of the World's Largest Tailings Dam Failures

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fundão tailings‐dam failure (2015)—study area and impact gradient. Regional maps locate the Rio Doce Basin in southeastern Brazil and the Fundão dam (red cross), with the black rectangle marking the extent of the main map. The main map follows the downstream tailings pathway along the river corridor (plume highlight).
