The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 299-322, May 2026.In the late ninth and early tenth centuries, an extraordinary number of falcons were given to the ʿAbbāsid caliphs in Baghdad, many of which were white. Gifts from competing dynasties in the northern provinces of the Caliphate, at least some of these birds were almost certainly gyrfalcons from near the Arctic Circle.

Beavers can convert stream corridors to persistent carbon sinks
Communications Earth & EnvironmentRecent reintroductions of the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) across Europe represents an ecological shift with potential implications for carbon cycling in stream corridors. However, the capacity of beaver impacts to influence short- and long-term carbon

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Wildlife reintroductions are socioecological processes entailing the intentional movement of organisms by people. In animal reintroductions, there is growing recognition of the importance of human dimensions and efforts to integrate these into reintroduction projects. To conceptually reframe reintroductions as processes of renewed coexistence (

Territorial movement behaviour in the Eurasian beaver
, 2023 It can be challenging to observe and quantify natural behaviour in wild free-ranging animals. Species that are reclusive or exploit multiple environments, such as semi-aquatic mammals, may be particularly difficult to study. Fortunately, deployment of animal-borne telemetry devices has rapidly improved our understanding of movement, behaviour, and ...

Unravelling perceptions of Eurasian beaver reintroduction in Great Britain
Area, 2019 International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) guidelines state that anticipated impacts must be considered in wildlife reintroduction, including the impacts on humans. Further, since reintroduction projects can be halted by resulting human–wildlife conflicts or human–human conflicts about wildlife, the perceptions of stakeholders and ...

Admixture of two phylogeographic lineages of the Eurasian beaver in Poland
Mammalian Biology, 2014 The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) represents an uncommon example of an endangered species in which the restoration programs proved a spectacular success and led to enormous spatial and demographic expansion. Documented reintroduction of beavers in Poland has been conducted using animals of the eastern European origin, most likely derived from the ...

Canis STR‐Seq: A Universal Approach for Non‐Invasive Genetic Monitoring of Wolves and Coyotes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We present a new, universal microsatellite genotype‐by‐sequencing assay for Canis species that allows for unambiguous allele calls, flags homoplasy for more accurate assignment tests, and improves genotyping output from low‐template DNA. We suggest, as others have done previously, that microsatellites are still effective, affordable, and sometimes ...

Initial response of Orthoptera to beaver (Castor fiber) reintroductions in post-arable enclosures [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera ResearchRewilding aims to restore ‘self-willed’ ecosystems involving the creation of habitat subject to stochastic disturbance, connected by favorable corridors for dispersal of animals including insects.
