Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...

Rising Reptile Trade from Kenya: Analysis of CITES-Listed Captive-Bred Wildlife Exports

Conservation
Kenya has a long history of both legal and illegal wildlife trade, functioning as a source, consumer, and transit hub within global wildlife markets. Yet, despite its increasing prominence, the scale and composition of Kenya’s captive-bred and ranched ...

Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

Spatial‐Scale Evolutionary Bias Sheds Light on the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using Escherichia coli as a model species, our experimental findings reveal that populations in high‐fitness‐gain geographic regions undergo rapid expansion, competitively excluding populations from low‐fitness‐gain regions. This results in adaptive evolution that is biased toward areas with higher fitness potential.

Intangible drivers of tolerance shape human–elephant coexistence in Southwest China

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2763-2780, August 2026.
Abstract Southwest China is home to a small but rapidly expanding population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), whose growth has intensified conflicts with people living in shared landscapes. These conflicts result in substantial economic losses and occasional human casualties. This coexistence paradox—where conservation success leads to significant

Redefining taxonomic boundaries of the genus Galtonia (Hyacinthaceae) and a new genus, Stellifloris, described

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Genera form the basis for higher taxonomic classification and should be easily recognizable, predictive, and stable, and should reflect the evolutionary history of their constituents, with monophyly as a key principle of modern classification.

Elephant space use and habitat selection change across drought timescales

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1464-1475, August 2026.
Drought threatens wildlife worldwide, but little is known about wildlife behaviour during drought. This study combines 19 years of elephant GPS data with drought conditions at three timescales. Key findings include that elephants (i) move less during drought at a 1‐month timescale and (ii) change habitat selection across drought timescales.
