Contrasting African elephant movescapes across xeric and mesic savannas

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Expanding human activities increasingly influence animal movement. Yet, conservation interventions often overlook intraspecific variation in how movement is structured across populations inhabiting distinct ecosystems. For wide‐ranging generalists such as African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana), understanding how responses to resource ...

Application of close‐kin mark–recapture to an American black bear population using harvest samples

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) offers a promising alternative to traditional mark–recapture methods for estimating wildlife population parameters. CKMR estimates demographic parameters by identifying genetic relationships between individuals, effectively “recapturing” parental genotypes through their offspring's genetic profiles.

Measuring Bird Morphology From Field Photographs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We evaluated a digital photography approach based on the pinhole camera model to estimate bird morphometric traits from single images, testing its accuracy under controlled conditions and across 37 species photographed in the field. Photographic measurements showed strong agreement with museum and database‐derived traits (ρ = 0.82–0.95), with wing and ...

Exploring Human‐Wildlife Coexistence Through the Lens of Value Pluralism Among Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This paper examines how the value pluralism of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities shapes their relationships with wildlife and governing institutions. Through a critical interpretive synthesis (CIS), we showed how the value pluralism of IPLCs begets and enriches the complexities and dynamics of coexistence.

Selection on PER2 Phosphorylation Regulation Underlies Atypical Mammalian Circadian Rhythms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
1. Positive selection on PER2 phosphorylation regulators in atypical circadian mammals. 2. Dolphin CSNK1E enhances PER2 phosphorylation at the stabilizing S662 site and extends PER2 half‐life. 3. Dolphin CSNK1E increases locomotor activity and reduces sleep in zebrafish.

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Divergent investment in direct versus indirect defense in Populus tremuloides across a latitudinal gradient

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Theory predicts that plant defense against herbivores should be greatest towards the equator due to the strong selective pressure of more populous and diverse herbivore communities; yet recent work suggests variation in plant defense is more complex, predicting divergent patterns of investment across defense types and underlying environmental ...
