Population Viability Analysis to Inform Reintroduction Decisions for a Group‐Living Primate, the Barbary Macaque

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 34-47, February 2026.
We developed a population viability analysis to inform reintroduction strategies for the endangered Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), incorporating age‐specific vital rates, release costs on survival and reproduction, environmental and demographic stochasticity, and catastrophic events.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and

Habitat Selection and Seed Dispersal by the Great Blue Turaco (Corythaeola cristata) in the Rainforests of Southern Cameroon

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study is the first to use telemetry to document the movements of the great blue turaco, a bird that plays an important role in seed dispersal throughout Africa's Congo Basin. We show how 3D vegetation structure influences the movements of four turacos and the resulting spatial patterns of seed dispersal.

Review of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on Ten years of phytopharmacovigilance in France: Review of the only organisation of its kind in Europe for post‐MA vigilance of plant protection products

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Phytopharmacovigilance consists in identifying signals of adverse effects on human, animal and plant populations and the environment associated with the use of plant protection products, and reporting them to the various bodies responsible for assessing and managing risks.

Genetic Confirmations of Dwarf Lemurs Across Madagascar Highlights Complex Biogeographic Patterns 马达加斯加全境鼠狐猴的遗传确认揭示了复杂的生物地理模式

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 665-674, December 2025.
Using a diagnostic mitochondrial marker gene, we document the presence of furry‐eared dwarf lemurs, a species known from Madagascar's eastern montane rainforests, in several forest fragments across the island's central highlands. These findings raise new questions about when this species colonized these sites, how they tolerate these changing and ...

Using accelerometer‐based behavioural classification to enhance scavenger conservation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2987-3004, November 2025.
We provide a tool to help identify vulture feeding hotspots, supporting carcass management efforts to prevent poisoning. Integrated with near real‐time tracking, our model can support global efforts to combat scavenger poisoning. The training dataset, model and codes are provided in a user‐friendly platform, along with a conceptual framework, to ...

Misplaced fears? What the evidence reveals of the ecological effects of tidal power generation

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Marine energy (tidal range and stream/flow) is a dependable and clean power source that stands out as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels. Despite widespread concerns surrounding the ecological effects of tidal energy infrastructure, we find few of these are substantiated by evidence or long‐term monitoring of existing tidal power projects.

Are crop fields pharmacies for megaherbivores? From ecophysiological studies of elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) crop raiders in Gabon

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Forest elephants need to be conserved not only because they act as forest engineers. They also appear to be self‐medication specialists and could possibly help humans to cope with present and future health issues. Managers should include the development of medicinal leeches to mitigate HEC.
