So close yet so far: Movement patterns of livestock guarding dogs in a shared landscape in Romania

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
We used GPS collars to track 36 livestock guarding dogs (LGDs) from 11 sheep flocks in the Romanian Carpathians to assess how closely they remained with their sheep and how often they roamed in a landscape shared with people and large carnivores. Overall, LGDs were attentive, typically staying within 100 m of sheep at night and 200 m during the day ...

Jungle Cats and Leopard Cats: Distribution, Occupancy Modeling, and Activity Patterns in Bardia National Park, Nepal

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Camera trap captured photographs from the study area, on the left is the jungle cat, and on the right is the leopard cat. ABSTRACT Small cats play a vital role in maintaining ecological balances. Inadequate knowledge based on their habitat preference and interspecific competition has hindered the effective conservation initiatives. We studied occupancy

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns of Plateau Foxes and Their Lagomorph Prey in Baqing County, Tibet

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study suggests pronounced spatiotemporal niche differentiation as a mechanism facilitating two mesocarnivores' coexistence, and enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sympatric coexistence on the Tibetan Plateau. ABSTRACT Predation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal ...

Den‐Site Behavior of Bengal Foxes (Vulpes bengalensis) Reveals Persistent Use, Social Interactions, and Coexistence in Shared Spaces

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We documented fine‐scale denning behavior of the Bengal fox (Vulpes bengalensis) using 12.18 h of camera trap video from a peri‐urban landscape in north‐western Bangladesh. Analyses revealed strong site fidelity, crepuscular activity, and structured behavioral patterns including foraging, grooming, vigilance, and social interactions.
