Ecological Factors at a Fine Spatial Scale Influencing Leopard (Panthera pardus) Habitat Use in the Bardia–Banke Complex, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Common leopard (Panthera pardus) photographed in camera traps in Bardia National Park, Nepal. ABSTRACT Conservation of large carnivores like leopard requires the clear knowledge of the spatial ecology of leopards (Panthera pardus), especially in larger and interconnected habitats to inform effective conservation planning.

Trade‐Offs in the Moonlight: Influence of Interspecific Pressures, Temperature, and Moon Phases on the Activity Patterns of Asiatic Brush‐Tailed Porcupine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using camera trap data from a tropical rainforest, we show that the Asiatic brush‐tailed porcupine uses behavioral trade‐offs: avoiding full moons, preferring 15°C–22°C, and shifting activity to reduce conflict with predators/competitors. This plasticity reveals how it balances foraging efficiency and survival risks, offering insights into conserving ...

Large mammalian herbivores disrupt demographic compensation along an aridity gradient

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Ecologists often assume that demographic rates such as survival and reproduction vary in concert along abiotic gradients, but growing evidence suggests that these rates may change in opposition, leading to demographic compensation. However, it is unclear how biotic interactions such as herbivory may affect the presence or strength of ...

Remote sensing and geospatial analysis for the study of plant community regeneration in human‐modified landscapes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Natural regeneration is essential for maintaining functionally diverse and resilient plant communities in human‐modified landscapes. To design and implement successful conservation and restoration initiatives in these landscapes, research on the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of natural regeneration must be scaled up beyond ...

Evolution of H5N1 Cross‐Species Transmission: Adaptive Mutations Driving Avian‐to‐Human Infection

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underpinning H5N1's host adaptation, focusing on key mutations in viral proteins. Critical mutations are discussed in detail, highlighting their roles in altering receptor specificity, promoting antiviral resistance, and expanding viral tropism. The review underscores the urgent need
