Color as A Narrative Device in Illustration: A Systematic Review
Color Research &Application, Volume 51, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Color in picture book illustration operates simultaneously as a representational code, cognitive scaffold, and affective cue supporting theories such as Dual Coding and multimodal discourse while revealing gaps in methodology and cross‐cultural research.

Anthropogenic Infrastructures Shape Brown Bear Movements in Human‐Modified Landscapes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Human activities are major drivers of changes in animal behaviour, resulting in diverse spatial and temporal activity patterns across species. In this study, we analysed telemetry data from brown bears in Finland, Slovakia and Romania, to compare how human infrastructure influences their movement behaviour.

Estimation of Parental Abundance Using Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling With Data Augmentation
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Pedigree accumulation estimators leverage the fact that each offspring in a cohort is genotypically “marked” by its parents and represent a recent and promising toolset for estimating population dynamics. We developed a hierarchical Bayesian pedigree accumulation estimator and compared it to previously evaluated non‐parametric approaches.

A Box-Cox double-hurdle model of wildlife valuation: the citizen’s perspective. [PDF]
A stated-preference approach is used to elicit the attitudes of the general public towards coyotes conservation. The payment vehicle is presented in a way that explicitly prompts individuals to adopt a citizen perspective, rather than a consumer ...

Canis STR‐Seq: A Universal Approach for Non‐Invasive Genetic Monitoring of Wolves and Coyotes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We present a new, universal microsatellite genotype‐by‐sequencing assay for Canis species that allows for unambiguous allele calls, flags homoplasy for more accurate assignment tests, and improves genotyping output from low‐template DNA. We suggest, as others have done previously, that microsatellites are still effective, affordable, and sometimes ...

Adopt a hypothetical pup: A count data approach to the valuation of wildlife. [PDF]
The willingness to pay for a coyote conservation program is estimated using a novel payment-vehicle, based on how many coyotes respondents would be willing to sponsor. This hypothetical scenario mimics an increasingly popular type of actual market.

Oikos, 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.

Climbing the urban canopy: Camera trap insights into mammal activity and habitat use
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Urbanization profoundly impacts wildlife behavior and habitat use. While the effects of urbanization on diel activity patterns and mammal interactions have been well studied at the ground level, little is known about spatiotemporal patterns above the ground.
