The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1491-1510, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (Cuon alpinus Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.

Mating Attempts and Sustained Interest Behaviors of Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) Toward a Dead Conspecific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.

Effects of Proximity to Abandoned Livestock Corrals on Standing Grass Biomass, Grass Species Diversity, and Wildlife Use in Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Maasai Mara, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pastoralists in African savanna ecosystems are shifting from livelihoods based purely on livestock only to a blended approach of livestock keeping and wildlife conservation for eco‐tourism. A popular feature of this model is the establishment of community conservancies that encourage co‐existence of traditional livestock keeping with wildlife ...
