Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Long‐term studies of plant and animal populations are rare, particularly for long‐lived species with slow life histories. However, such studies are necessary to understand how population dynamics are affected by variation in vital rates. We used a large capture–recapture dataset spanning four decades (1983–2019) to estimate several population ...

A new endemic karst-associated species of lance-headed pit viper (Squamata, Viperidae, Protobothrops) from Laos [PDF]
HerpetozoaWe describe a new species of lance-headed pit viper from north-western Laos, based on morphological and molecular (6092 bp from cyt b, ND4, COI, 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA genes and c-mos and RAG1 nuclear DNA genes) lines of evidence ...

One number to rule them all: The Wildlife Sperm Index for standardized gamete assessment
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 705-717, March 2026.Abstract In wildlife conservation, breeding programmes focused on reintroduction are critical to recovering endangered species. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and biobanking play pivotal roles in these efforts but depend on high‐quality gametes.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems and species are under threat due to anthropogenic impacts, prompting implementation of conservation strategies. Headstarting is a strategy that involves rearing vulnerable life stages (e.g., eggs and hatchlings) in human care until they are large enough to reduce mortality risk after release.

No Evidence for Pace of Life Evolution Along Elevational Gradients in Squamate Reptiles
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.Ecological conditions can significantly influence the trade‐off between survival, growth, and reproduction, leading to evolutionary divergence in life‐history traits among populations experiencing different environments. The pace of life syndrome hypothesis (POLS) proposes that additional suites of traits, from physiology to behaviour, adaptively co ...
