No safe refuge? Contrasting effects of hunting on rainforest mammal persistence and (re)colonisation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results imply that hunting not only targets areas used as refuges by wildlife, but also reduces recolonisation potential and may therefore alter source–sink dynamics. We recommend spatially targeted community‐led actions to limit hunting where wildlife still persists through the creation of no‐hunting areas to ensure the long‐term persistence of ...

Revealing the effects of anthropogenic structures on the spatial distribution of migratory wildebeest

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
In light of these findings, we recommend careful regulation and spatial planning of infrastructure development within ecosystems that consider the nuanced effects human‐made structures can have on the behaviour and habitat use of migratory animals. Abstract The increasing interaction between wildlife and humans, both within and outside protected areas,

Forage mass and stocking rate of elephant grass pastures managed under agroecological and conventional systems

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2014
The objective was to evaluate elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) pastures, under the agroecological and conventional systems, as forage mass and stocking rate. In the agroecological system, the elephant grass was established in rows spaced by 3.

Australian Mistletoe‐Host Leaf Resemblance: Support for Eco‐Physiological Convergence Rather Than Disperser‐ or Herbivore‐Driven Mimicry

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Presently, there are three main hypotheses to explain why the leaves of many Australian mistletoes resemble their hosts. The eco‐physiological convergence hypothesis suggests that mistletoes must manage their physiology, especially their water relations, to match those of the host, to avoid killing themselves or the host branch they have ...

The Distribution and Quality of Elephant Food Plants in Mwea National Reserve‐Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how herbivores respond to spatial and temporal resource variability is a central aspect of resource use ecology. This 18‐month study examined how seasonal changes in food plants availability, distribution and nutritional quality influence the foraging behaviour of African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Mwea National ...

Annual Variation in Stallion Testicular Measurements and Its Association With Hormonal Profiles and Semen Quality

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In a stallion breeding‐soundness examination, testicular volume may be estimated either from total scrotal width or by measuring the height, width and length of both testes. This study aimed to determine whether testicular morphometric parameters obtained by ultrasonography fluctuate throughout the year, and whether these variations affect ...
