Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 1, Page 25-37, May 2026.
In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

An evaluation of techniques used for the capture, immobilization and radio collaring of Saharan striped polecat

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 4, December 2025.
Summary of methods for capturing, immobilizing, and radio collaring Saharan striped polecats in central Tunisia (2019–2022). Spotlighting with a hand net was the only effective capture technique, and ketamine–medetomidine provided adequate handling time. ATS and WMI collars, with flexible antennas and cable‐tie attachments, performed best.

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Hunters' preferences for wildlife conflict management: The Egyptian mongoose expansion in Spain

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.
Hunters exhibited spatial differences regarding preferences for managing Egyptian mongoose in Spain. In a region where mongoose recently expanded, respondents advocated for prevention strategies to contain species distribution. In regions where the mongoose has been more widespread since long ago, hunters favored abundance reduction.

Roads shape seed dispersal by rodents and carnivores at forest edges

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 3040-3054, November 2025.
These findings highlight the role of roads as barriers and of roadsides as corridors for mammal‐mediated seed dispersal, with implications for forest regeneration and habitat connectivity. Roadside management should prioritize moderate shrub cover along paved roads to support rodent‐mediated seed dispersal while balancing ecological benefits with ...

Essential tools but overlooked bias: Artificial intelligence and citizen science classification affect camera trap data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2638-2652, November 2025.
Abstract Camera trapping generates vast image datasets requiring classification before downstream ecological inference, yet the influence of classification errors on subsequent analyses is often overlooked. Classification performance can vary widely depending on the classification method (e.g. citizen science vs. artificial intelligence [AI]), species,

The Egyptian mongoose, Herpestes ichneumon, is a possible reservoir host of visceral leishmaniasis in eastern Sudan. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Investigations were made on possible reservoir hosts of Leishmania donovani in 2 zoonotic foci of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Dinder National Park (DNP) and the peri-domestic habitats of adjacent villages of eastern Sudan.
