Preservation biases in the fossil record distort species ecological niche and distribution models
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Ecological niche models (ENMs) increasingly leverage the fossil record to understand species' environmental associations and predict their geographic distributions. However, fossils do not occur uniformly through time and space, which can compromise the robustness of ENMs and thus affect ecological conclusions. Here, we assessed how preservation biases

Climbing the urban canopy: Camera trap insights into mammal activity and habitat use
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Urbanization profoundly impacts wildlife behavior and habitat use. While the effects of urbanization on diel activity patterns and mammal interactions have been well studied at the ground level, little is known about spatiotemporal patterns above the ground.

Assessing Mammal Conservation Effectiveness in the World's Highest‐Elevation Protected Area Network
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Protected areas (PAs) are central to global biodiversity conservation, but their effectiveness in understudied regions, such as high‐altitude ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Tibet contains the world's highest‐elevation PA network and a remarkably diverse mammalian fauna, especially medium‐ and large‐bodied mammals (MLM) that are of ...

Investigating the Potential Consequences of Woodland Creation for British Mammal Populations
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We simulated the conversion of suitable areas in the UK to woodland, according to the current and target woodland creation rates, and assessed how this would affect habitat availability and potential population sizes of British mammals. We predicted that most assessed mammals would benefit or be unaffected by planned woodland creation, but some ...
