A scalable integrated population model for estimating abundance for gamebird management

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our O‐IPM presents an efficient and practical approach for estimating wildlife population demographics, particularly in situations where data collection is limited. This study demonstrates how information from intensive, localized research can be leveraged to inform broader‐scale management through strategic use of prior information.

Acclimatisation duration, not just release type, drives post‐release settlement in a large‐scale carnivore reintroduction programme

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our study highlights that when acclimatisation periods are too short, the substantial economic and logistical investment in soft‐release protocols may fail to deliver the expected conservation gains. Therefore, defining evidence‐based acclimatisation periods that are long enough to promote settlement, yet compatible with logistical constraints, may ...

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 468-484, May 2026.
We present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our approach uses integrated tools and methods for the digitization, reconstruction, and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth ...

The distribution of a rarely encountered stingray, Megatrygon microps, informed by citizen science: A systematic review

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study combines literature and online data sources to expand the smalleye stingray's range, highlight ecological interactions and specific threats. Abstract Many chondrichthyan fishes are experiencing alarming population declines primarily due to overfishing, exacerbated by their inherently vulnerable life history traits including slow growth rates

Behavioral and demographic effects of open‐pit mining on Central Mountain Caribou in British Columbia

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
The demographic manifestation of mining effects on caribou, a species listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, has been disputed. We characterized a cascade of events for caribou associated with open‐pit coal mining beginning with maladaptive behavior responses leading to negative demographic outcomes for the affected caribou ...
