Balancing Risk and Reward: Red Fox Exploitation of Kill Sites in a Wolf‐Occupied Landscape
Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Wolves are recolonising the European Alps, and the carcasses they leave behind are a valuable food source for smaller carnivores. Using camera traps at 26 wolf‐killed red deer carcasses in Stelvio National Park, we found that red foxes visited every carcass and timed their visits according to how much meat was left, rather than to whether wolves were ...

Occurrence and distribution of sarcoptic mange in wild Neotropical canids
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Sarcoptic mange affects most Neotropical canid species across multiple countries. It represents a widespread yet largely overlooked conservation threat with potential for cross‐species transmission. Coordinated monitoring and management efforts are needed to understand and mitigate its impacts. Abstract Sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease caused

Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 4, December 2026.By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

The Reading Teacher, Volume 80, Issue 3, November/December 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how one second‐grade dual‐language teacher supported translanguaging during interactive read‐alouds and literacy discussions while working in a district that emphasized the use of separate languages. Drawing on classroom observations, interviews, and field notes, we illustrate how the teacher encouraged students to use ...

EcosphereMany wildlife species vary habitat selection across space, time, and behavior to maximize rewards and minimize risk. Multi‐scale research approaches that identify variation in wildlife habitat selection can highlight not only habitat preferences and risk

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Multi‐host cervid communities impacted by chronic wasting disease pose challenges for understanding exposure risk, especially during the mating season when male contact rates peak. Using camera traps at local infectious zones, we found that environmental interspecific exposure risk occurred almost exclusively at water tanks and scrape sites—reaching ...

Rocking and Rolling of Rigid Polygons Under Seismic Excitation
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3161-3180, 10 October 2026.ABSTRACT We present an event driven analytical framework for rigid cyclic polygons subjected to horizontal ground excitation in which uplift, impact, and successive pivot switching are treated within a unified non‐smooth dynamical description. Rolling is defined as a sequence of energetically admissible transitions between neighbouring vertices tied to

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.This study revealed that Australia's five Pteropus bat species are all natural hosts of typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC)—historically considered a human‐specific pathogen. Across the five Pteropus spp., tEPEC prevalence ranged between 14.2% and 37.0%, with 18 bat‐specific tEPEC strain types and 24 bat‐specific bfpA allele types ...

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...
