Decline of Common Toad Populations in Flanders Is Not Linked to Surrounding Landscape
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Analysis of long time series show a main decline in population abundances of Common Toads (Bufo bufo) in Flanders. This decline could not be linked to surrounding landscape variables, likely because of the regions fragmented nature and the species' generalist ecology.

Integumentary fibrosarcoma in a free‐living swan (Cygnus olor): Medical and welfare considerations
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract A 10‐kg adult male mute swan (Cygnus olor) of unknown age was admitted for investigations of two large ventral masses overlying the keel bone, which were discharging purulent material. The masses measured 8.9 × 2.1 cm and 4.2 × 3.2 cm. Empirical treatment with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and antimicrobials was instigated.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.Robust monitoring of wildlife populations to guide interventions is fundamental to conservation and wildlife management. Understanding how landscape characteristics are influencing predator population dynamics is often vital to inform recovery strategies, management, and policy. The pine marten Martes martes is recovering in the UK; however, population

Managing nesting by Chihuahuan ravens on H‐frame electric transmission structures
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Electric utility structures occur widely in natural and human‐dominated landscapes and are often used by birds for nesting. Nests can cause power outages, fires, and electrocution of birds and their young, particularly if nests occur directly above ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 873-887, May 2026.Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.
