Species‐specific interactions with apex carnivores yield unique benefits and burdens for mesocarnivores

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Mesocarnivores navigate a complex risk–reward continuum in ecosystems shared with their apex counterparts, balancing scavenging opportunities with risks of mortality. However, the risks to mesocarnivores in multi‐carnivore systems are not uniform; they can vary with specific apex–meso pairings.

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

open access: yesOikos, 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 ...

Not just ‘super‐predators': human behaviour shapes wildlife behavioural responses across avoidance, tolerance and attraction

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.

Hunting method affects cortisol levels in harvested mountain hares (Lepus timidus)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
The direct effects of hunting on hunted individuals and populations have been well known for a long time. However, recently there has also been an increased focus on the indirect, non‐lethal effects of hunting. When approached by a possible threat such as a predator, the prey releases various stress hormones into the bloodstream.
