Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 65-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Red deer adult sex ratio: comparing three approaches using camera trap data

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
A naïve estimate of the adult sex ratio in red deer (Cervus elaphus) using raw camera trap data showed no bias when compared to more advanced statistical methods that account for detection probabilities or predict the sex of unknown sightings. Abstract European forests face severe challenges due to climate change, highlighting the importance of tree ...

Introduced wild pigs affect the foraging ecology of a native predator as both prey and scavenger

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Introduced species can disrupt trophic interactions by acting as novel predators, prey, or scavengers. Predicting the impacts of these disruptions can be integral to the conservation of native species and the maintenance of ecological function, but is challenging, especially for species involved in multiple trophic interactions.

Experimental evidence for large carnivore risk cues reducing deer browsing intensity in a temperate forest

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
By analysing multiple behavioural responses and considering relationships between different trophic guilds, we provide unique insights into the mechanisms of predator–prey interactions and their indirect impact on forest ecosystems. In particular, our findings highlight the role of large carnivores in mitigating ungulate browsing damages, which is ...

Importance of dispersal for the expansion of a Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx population in a fragmented landscape [PDF]

, 2017
Dispersal allows recolonization of previous areas of habitat following severe depression of a population but the significance of this is not clear in felids.

Catch me if you can: diel activity patterns of mammalian prey and predators [PDF]

, 2017
The activity patterns exhibited by animals are shaped by evolution, but additionally fine-tuned by flexible responses to the environment. Predation risk and resource availability are environmental cues which influence the behavioural decisions that make ...
