Coyotes Choose Cover Over Concrete When Selecting Den Sites

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Reproductive decision‐making impacts fitness, especially in dynamic urban environments. Thus, we assessed urban coyote den site selection in Atlanta, GA. We found that coyotes made decision on both the site and structure of dens to mitigate fitness related risk and safeguard their young.

Uncovering Hidden Predators: Thermal Drone Detection of Antarctic Fur Seals in Tussac Grass at South Georgia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We demonstrate that fixed‐wing drones equipped with dual thermal and RGB sensors can effectively detect Antarctic fur seals, including those concealed in tussac grass at South Georgia. Thermal imagery significantly improved detection rates compared with RGB alone, while a combined workflow provided the most accurate population estimates.

Sources of Pre‐ and Postnatal Maternal Energy Allocation to Offspring in a Long‐Lived, Capital Breeder: The Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Few studies have simultaneously assessed multiple sources of variation in maternal energy allocation and how allocation might vary over a female's lifetime. We used 20 years of cross‐sectional and longitudinal data on 222 known‐age grey seals, which was collected as part of long‐term monitoring programme of grey seals that breed on Sable Island ...

Niche Partitioning Promotes Coexistence: Habitat Suitability and Spatial Overlap of Three Sympatric Ungulates in a Subtropical Mountain Reserve

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study assessed the habitat suitability and spatial niche differentiation of three sympatric ungulates—Black muntjac, Reeves's muntjac, and Wild boar—in the Tongbo Mountain National Nature Reserve, China. Using MaxEnt modeling and niche overlap analysis, we found distinct habitat preferences and hierarchical niche segregation that facilitate ...

Addressing biases in sliding window analysis gives new insight into the response of parturition date to weather in a wild mammal

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Animal breeding phenology in temperate and high latitude regions is often predicted by weather variables, such as temperature. Much work on this topic has focused on taxonomic groups that employ adaptive plastic responses to annual variation in an environmental cue, with analytical approaches developed to determine when weather has an effect and the ...
