Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 222, Issue 1, June 2026.
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been

Contrasting direct and indirect effects of roe deer on herb layer vegetation in gaps and closed canopies

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
Forest gaps primarily reshape herb layer composition by increasing light availability and shrub layer encroachment. Roe deer influence herb layer community assembly both directly and indirectly via modification of the shrub layer and light availability and thus shifting plant–plant competition.

Uncovering temporal patterns of wildlife activity, habitat use and habitat preference from camera‐trap data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1880-1895, June 2026.
Abstract An understanding of habitat use and levels of active behaviour is foundational to wildlife behaviour, ecology, conservation and management. These variables are commonly measured by tracking individuals in space and time using biologging. In principle, camera‐trap data also contain information about both activity level and habitat use; however,

The interaction of Sika deer (Cervus nippon Temminck 1838) with lowland heath mosaics.

open access: yes
Sika deer (Cervus nippon) has become an invasive species in many parts of the world. In the south of England large populations appear to be concentrated in landscapes comprising of mosaics of lowland heath, woodlands and grassland.

Beyond the next step: A multi‐criteria generative validation framework for step selection functions

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1754-1767, June 2026.
Abstract Step‐selection functions (SSFs), typically fitted using step‐selection analysis (SSA) or integrated step‐selection analysis (iSSA) are widely used to infer habitat selection and movement kernels from high‐frequency telemetry data, but most standard validation tools focus on one‐step‐ahead prediction and do not guarantee that fitted models ...

Fats, Fire and Bronze Age Funerary Rites: Organic Residue Analysis of Wide Horizontal Rim Vessels From Burial Contexts in Northwest Portugal

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 298-310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first GC‐MS–based analyses of wide horizontal rim vessels with well‐defined funerary contexts, from Middle Bronze Age Portugal (Quinta do Amorim 2 and Pego). Organic residues from two vessels revealed ruminant fats and plant oils, alongside molecular markers of heat exposure.
