Lost Gatherers in the 21st Century: Probability of Area, Spatial Behavior, Risk Factors and Vulnerability

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Gathering activities have evolved from survival‐driven practices to predominantly recreational and cultural pursuits, weakening the connection with nature and potentially reducing navigational skills, which may help explain why gathering accounts for 8% of the search operations in Catalonia (Spain). A key focus of this study was the comparison

Increased Vulnerability to Dehydration Due to Heat Stress and Drought Across Reproductive States for Pastoralist Women in Northern Kenya

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Extreme weather events, like drought and heat stress, make it harder to meet water needs in water‐insecure settings, particularly vulnerable groups. This study examines how short‐term (heat stress) and long‐term (drought) water stress affects hydration status across reproductive states (pregnant, lactating, compared to non‐pregnant ...

Understanding Barriers to Human‐Wildlife Coexistence: Evidence From Southern Sri Lanka

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated the barriers to coexistence with wild elephants (Elephas maximus maximus) as experienced by farmer communities in Southern Sri Lanka. Through an ethnographic study, we identified socio‐political drivers, institutional and structural challenges, and power and corruption as the main themes of barriers to coexistence.

Effect of Disturbance on Population Structure and Regeneration of Abies fargesii var. faxoniana (Rehder & E.H.Wilson): Mild Disturbance Promotes Growth, Severe Disturbance Leads to Decline

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Disturbance critically affects population structure and stability, and that appropriate disturbance can promote population development. The Abies faxoniana population under mild disturbance regenerated well, and the remaining young individuals were able to support population stability and growth, while populations under moderate and severe disturbance ...

Chocolate Bushbabies: Cocoa Agroforests as Habitat for Galagos (Galagidae) in the Ashanti Region, Ghana

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We assessed whether galagos occur in cocoa agroforestry systems in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, using passive acoustic monitoring and a YOLOv5‐based convolutional neural network trained on galago vocalisations from sub‐Saharan Africa. We confirmed the presence of at least one species of western dwarf galago (Galagoides sp.) in four cocoa agroforests ...
