Survival of a Long‐Lived Avian Scavenger: Implications of Age, Season, and Landscape Composition for Mortality Risk

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The goal of this study was to evaluate survival and mortality risk in black vultures (Coragyps atratus), a protected native species of conflict management concern in the United States. High survival rates from this study help explain this species' population growth and range expansion and further inform allowable take for sustainable management ...

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.

Unveiling Diet Preferences and Their Nutritional Drivers Through Metabarcoding: The Case of Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in High Altitude Grazed Pastures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota), a crucial component of alpine ecosystems, serves both as a key player in the food chain and as an ‘ecosystem engineer.’ Employing DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, this study investigated the diet composition and foraging strategies of four alpine marmot colonies across diverse alpine pasture ecosystems throughout

High‐speed sand‐shoveling nesting behavior in the Saharan silver ant

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Nesting in deserts presents major challenges due to extreme heat and unstable sandy soils. The Saharan silver ant (Cataglyphis bombycina) is known for its rapid running that helps avoid heat during foraging. However, how silver ants manage to construct nests in such fine and unstable sand is not well understood.

Mammal defaunation leads to biotic homogenization of plant communities in tropical rainforests

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Biotic homogenization is the process in which species communities become increasingly similar across different regions over time. This phenomenon has substantial ecological, evolutionary, and economic implications, primarily driven by human activities such as habitat destruction, invasive species introduction, and climate change.
