Where leopards die: identifying mortality hotspots in northern Pakistan

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The relevance of this work to conservation policy and practice is twofold. First, it offers concrete spatial insights that can directly inform the design of targeted mitigation strategies and proactive interventions. Second, it highlights the limitations of current protected area networks and underscores the urgent need to incorporate human‐dominated ...

Spatiotemporal patterns of elephant and chimpanzee occurrence amid hunting in an unprotected African rainforest

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We used long‐term data (2008–2023) from an unprotected African rainforest facing hunting pressure and impending logging to model how Nigeria‐Cameroon chimpanzees and African forest elephants respond to hunting. We found that elephant occurrence declined with increasing terrain ruggedness and was not affected by hunting.

Human Disturbance but Not Predation Risk Is Associated With Increased Vigilance in Roe Deer

Ethology, EarlyView.
Roe deer vigilance is lower in natural than in modified habitats, decreases with group size, but is not significantly influenced by stable wolf presence, suggesting habitat‐driven risk perception and reliance on spatial avoidance over increased alertness.

Social Drivers of Vocal Flexibility in Female Baboons

Ethology, EarlyView.
Female olive baboons selectively grunt when encountering females with dependent offspring. Grunting likelihood depends on rank differences and the strength of their social bond. This study adds to the evidence that nonhuman primates have evolved to use structurally‐inflexible vocalisations in population and context‐flexible ways.

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment

Ibis, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.
