Water depth and human disturbance drive occupancy of endangered softshell turtles (Nilssonia spp.) in eastern Nepal

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Freshwater turtles play vital roles in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by supporting ecological balance, nutrient cycling and regulating prey populations. Unfortunately, they are among the most threatened species worldwide. Habitat fragmentation, illegal trade, overharvesting for meat, and use in ethnomedicinal practices have severely ...

A Case Report on Rehabilitation of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) in the Wild 亚洲黑熊 (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) 野外放归野化案例报告

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 139-148, September 2026.
Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Heathland pollinator communities are more strongly influenced by land management than by honeybee competition

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Apiaries had modest impacts on heathland plant–pollinator communities, likely buffered by the abundance of Calluna vulgaris which provides 91% of landscape nectar during hive introductions. We recommend avoiding hive introductions outside of peak flowering periods and managing grazing in the spring to ensure nectar resources for emerging pollinators ...

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...
