Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.Managing the harvest of wild birds requires knowledge about their provenance. We show that local woodcocks depart Switzerland after the onset of the hunting season, but that due to the dilution by more numerous migrants few local birds are shot. Abstract During migration, individuals of migratory species occurring in a specific area can include a ...

Sticks and Stones: Hand Preference and Grip in Wild Chimpanzee Tool‐Use
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 2, October 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Humans exhibit a near‐universal right‐handed bias, linked to hemispheric brain lateralization, yet its evolutionary origins remain unclear. Wild chimpanzees, one of our closest living relatives, show diverse tool‐use behaviors and substantial variability, providing an appropriate context to investigate the emergence and functional ...

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3250-3268, October 2026.Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3298-3310, October 2026.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3387-3401, October 2026.Abstract Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems.

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1799-1817, October 2026.ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3114-3132, October 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change and associated disturbances are increasing the risk of regeneration failure for tree species in temperate forests. Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to water stress due to their shallow root systems, making below‐ground plasticity a potentially key ...
