Anchoring India's Umbrella Species to Biodiversity and Climate Gains

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Policies for nature‐based climate solutions and biodiversity conservation are intrinsically linked but seldom aligned, potentially leading to inefficient use of limited environmental budgets. We propose that countries can harness species‐specific legislation to simultaneously conserve biodiversity and natural carbon stocks, helping bridge this

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Protected and Yet Pressured: Persistence of Southern African Pythons (Python natalensis) in South Africa Despite Changing Land Use and Other Anthropogenic Threats

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Around the globe, changing landscapes and habitat transformation are major factors affecting wildlife. In recent years, South Africa has experienced significant population growth and migration, leading to the transformation and expansion of both rural and urban areas, with the loss of natural areas.

Where leopards die: identifying mortality hotspots in northern Pakistan

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
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 ...

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

Burrow Selection by Temminck's Ground Pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) in Northern Botswana

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In arid and semi‐arid environments, many species use underground burrows for thermoregulation, reproduction, and to reduce predation risk. In Botswana, Temminck's ground pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) shelter in burrows during the day, and burrow density is thought to be a key indicator of habitat suitability for these animals.
