Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 249-260, June 2026.Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

Orbis Litterarum, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 271-280, June 2026.Abstract To expose the pollution of marshes and swamps, whether by hydrocarbons or other contaminants, the French or Francophone author of the twentieth century must first confront a literary tradition that equates stagnant water with a volatile poison and, more broadly, wetlands with toxic environments. In his article “Wetland Gloom and Wetland Glory,”

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1218-1232, May 2026.Abstract Understanding how different types of nature interactions influence emotional responses to animal species is especially important in the context of the biodiversity crisis, as these emotions can shape conservation‐related attitudes and behaviours. Gardening is recognised as one such interaction, although its influence likely depends on the type

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

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.

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

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.
