Climate Change Challenges Grey Wolf Resilience: Insights From Dental Microwear
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigate dietary plasticity in European grey wolves across interglacial periods using dental microwear texture analysis. Enhanced durophagy is associated with warm climates in both modern Polish and British Pleistocene wolves, indicating deep‐time behavioural flexibility.

Mechanisms of Karyotype Evolution inCervus NipponTemminck [PDF]
Caryologia, 1987 SUMMARYKaryotypes of two different morphologic subspecies of sika deer (Cervus nippon Temminck) are described by means of G- and C- banding technique. An uncommon karyotype with 2n = 62 is described in this species for the first time. It is shown that hybridisation and recent Robertsonian translocations as well as a polymorphism of the Y-chromosome ...

Relationship Between Testosterone and Movement Patterns in Male Asian Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Comparisons of mean fecal testosterone metabolite concentrations (mFTM) and behavioral variables between the breeding (May–July) and post‐breeding (August–November) seasons. The asterisks indicate significant differences. ABSTRACT In male mammals, reproduction and reproductive behavior are strongly influenced by testosterone. While some species exhibit

Sika deer presence affects the host–parasite interface of a Japanese land leech
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Since the 1990s, increasing populations of a blood feeding land leech (Haemadipsa japonica) have become a serious issue in several Japanese prefectures, and it may be caused by the increases in sika deer (Cervus nippon) populations seen over the last ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study assessed the accuracy of DNA metabarcoding using ITS2 and trnL markers to reconstruct sheep diets under controlled feeding trials with high‐ and low‐digestibility forage, and in a secondary trial with low‐level inclusions of Medicago sativa. ITS2 offered higher species‐level resolution, while trnL provided broader taxonomic coverage but less

A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.
