Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2078-2090, July 2026.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Wealth and distribution of piscivorous birds in an urban stretch of Rio Uberabinha (Uberlândia, MG)

, 2005
Waterbirds are an important functional group, responsible for countless ecological roles, including the dispersion of aquatic invertebrates. That group has been threatened by the processes of agricultural expansion and of urban growth, what promote ...

Hummingbird interaction niche packing is influenced by species richness and resource availability in the southern tropical Andes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2275-2285, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Niche partitioning is often considered an important mechanism promoting species co‐occurrence in species‐rich communities. As species richness increases, niche partitioning may lead to different niche structures, including increased packing of species niches when the ...

Cumulative heatwave stress disrupts thermal homeostasis and plumage structure in a Mediterranean passerine

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1960-1978, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent across the Mediterranean and pose critical challenges for small passerines, yet the physiological and morphological limits to their resilience remain poorly understood.

A quantitative analysis to detect mass mortality events (wrecks) in Procellariiformes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our study provides the first systematic assessment of seabird mass mortality events in the South Atlantic and introduces a transferable statistical framework for detecting MMEs in other taxa and regions lacking baseline mortality information. By identifying recurrent temporal anomalies, high‐risk areas and vulnerable species, we could establish ...

Effects of Forest Cover and Seasonality on Several Faunal Groups in Cattle Ranching Landscapes of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Forest cover within cattle ranches can strongly shape faunal biodiversity. In Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. We show that butterflies, moths, dung beetles, and birds respond differently to forest cover across habitats (pastures vs. forest fragments) and seasons, as a function of their specialization and resource needs.

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 568-588, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Woody vegetation removal as a management strategy to benefit grassland birds in legally protected areas

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation
The encroachment of woody vegetation into grasslands is a trend in grass-dominated ecosystems worldwide. In the long term, woody vegetation can completely replace grassland vegetation, displacing grassland-dependent bird species. We aimed to evaluate the
