Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

Unveiling the Dietary Selection of Lowland Tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in a Tropical Rainforest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Large terrestrial herbivores, such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) present many dietary ecological roles in their habitat. In this article, we investigated the diet of lowland tapirs in a tropical rainforest combining different techniques such as DNA metabarcoding, fieldwork, and plant functional traits.

Climbing the urban canopy: Camera trap insights into mammal activity and habitat use

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Urbanization profoundly impacts wildlife behavior and habitat use. While the effects of urbanization on diel activity patterns and mammal interactions have been well studied at the ground level, little is known about spatiotemporal patterns above the ground.

When Calves Get Vulnerable, Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) Get Bold: A Camera Trap Record of Opportunistic Foraging in a Fragmented Landscape

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We report the first confirmed record of an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) dragging a newborn calf in a degraded forest fragment of southeastern Brazil. Using camera trap records, we reveal an opportunistic foraging event involving a vulnerable domestic prey within a highly fragmented landscape.

A Gnawing Question: How Do Caribou and Other Arctic Mammals Exploit Shared Bone Resources?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Bones of dead animals are consumed by many species, yet the partitioning of this resource, and the associated ecological and evolutionary implications, remains poorly understood. Using bone modification features found on shed female caribou (Rangifer tarandus) antlers and skeletal bones lying on caribou calving grounds of the Arctic National Wildlife ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 65-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the
