Dental fluorosis in the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus): A review of the pathological changes in the enamel of fluorotic cheek teeth and the abnormal pattern of dental wear in affected dentitions

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 166-186, January 2026.
Abstract This article reviews the pathological changes in the enamel of permanent mandibular cheek teeth and their sequelae in European roe deer from regions polluted by anthropogenic fluoride emissions. The primary (developmental) changes of fluorotic roe deer enamel are hypomineralization and microstructural aberrations, including enamel hypoplasia ...

Smart Ungulates: What Sheep and Goats' Performances in a Reversed‐Reward Contingency Task Tell Us About the Evolution of Cognitive Flexibility

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study shows that young goats outperform sheep in the reversed‐reward contingency task, which is a cognitive test requiring both inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. The results highlight the importance of cognitive flexibility when solving this type of task, and suggest that the differences between both species may reflect social and ...

Ecological Effects of Solanum rostratum Invasion on the Diversity and Functional Traits of Native Plant Communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The invasion of Solanum rostratum exerts stage‐dependent effects on native plant communities. The study found that at low invasion levels, it temporarily enhances native plant diversity and community stability through resource complementarity; whereas at high invasion levels, it shifts to strong competitive inhibition, leading to a sharp decline in ...

Mislabeled and Misunderstood: Large Mammal Distribution Underscores Ecological Significance of Agro‐Pastoral “Wastelands” in India's Deccan Peninsula

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large part of India's Deccan peninsula consists of agricultural lands interspersed with open ecosystems that support megafauna populations. We examined the distribution of four large mammals: blackbuck, striped hyena, sloth bear and the Indian wolf in agro‐pastoral landscapes of north Karnataka's Koppal district using an interview‐based occupancy ...

Microtopography and land management drive the spatial and population structures of a Mediterranean keystone species

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Environmental and human factors shape the distribution and habitat of Mediterranean woody plants, influencing their population structure and conservation. The Iberian wild pear (Pyrus bourgaeana), a keystone fleshy‐fruited species supporting wildlife during resource‐scarce periods, is one such example.
