The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1396-1410, July 2026.ABSTRACT Empirical evidence of population demographic responses to environmental perturbations is a major knowledge gap for aquatic vertebrate populations. Extensive habitat alteration including channelization of headwater streams influences the habitat template on which small‐bodied fish are dependent to carry out distinct life stages and maintain or ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.Long‐term population monitoring is fundamental to wildlife population management. Furbearer populations are often surveyed using multiple methods, but many estimates of their abundance, especially abundance indices, do not account for detection error, and lead to conflicting interpretations of population trends.

Long‐term apparent survival of a cold‐stunned subpopulation of juvenile green turtles
Ecosphere, 2022 Understanding the effects of extreme weather on animal populations is fundamental to ecological and conservation sciences and species management. Climate change has resulted in both warm and cold temperature extremes, including an increased frequency of ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.The capercaillie Tetrao urogallus formerly inhabited the forests of Lower Lusatia in eastern Germany but became regionally extirpated by the late 20th century following extensive habitat loss and fragmentation. In response, a reintroduction program was initiated in 2012 after approximately one decade of habitat restoration. Between 2012 and 2024, adult

Quantification of human‐caused mortality in an imperiled turtle
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.For many threatened and endangered species, the importance of human‐caused mortality relative to other sources has not been quantified, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of mortality‐reduction strategies. We used radio telemetry data, pooled across studies at protected sites in the US states of Illinois and Wisconsin, to estimate natural ...

Long‐term jaguar demography underscores the ecological value of Amazonian floodplains
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Our results provide the first estimates of recruitment and apparent survival for Amazonian jaguars, key parameters for guiding conservation. We show that seasonal wetlands—the Amazonian floodplain forest and reported estimates from Pantanal and the Llanos—harbour the highest jaguar densities across the species' range.

Survival and Behavior of Amphibians in a Seasonally Flooded Tropical Forest
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.How do tropical amphibians survive seasonal flooding? A three‐year capture–mark–recapture study in Costa Rica revealed species‐specific responses to flood events, with flooding reducing apparent survival in some species while others persisted through behavioral adaptations and use of arboreal refugia.
