Sympatry Increases Predation Risk for an Endangered Ungulate

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We characterized predation risk for Peninsular bighorn sheep and southern mule deer across their ranges to understand how topography, habitat, forage, and prey habitat suitability affect where pumas are likely to predate both species. The presence of the second ungulate species increased predation risk for both species but had the greatest effect on ...

Wolves in Bhutan Are Part of the Ancient Himalayan Wolf (Canis lupus chanco) Lineage

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
During Bhutan's nationwide snow leopard survey (2022–2023), putative snow leopard scat samples were collected, of which some were genetically identified as belonging to the wolf. Mitochondrial DNA analyses placed all Bhutanese sequences within the monophyletic Himalayan wolf clade and matched haplotypes previously reported from Nepal.

Tigers in the Neighborhood: Factors Associated With Fatal Tiger Attacks in a Human‐Dominated Landscape, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We documented 245 tiger attacks on humans (141 fatalities) during 2010–2024 in Nepal. Most of the attacks (> 90%) occurred inside forest areas. Men were attacked more frequently (65.3%) but fatality was higher among women (> 70%). The majority of the victims (93%) had education of secondary level or below.

Temporal and Spatial Responses of Chinese Red Pandas to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Meigu Dafengding National Nature Reserve, Sichuan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We explored red panda behavioral adaptations to disturbances from both temporal and spatial perspectives. Red pandas favor high‐altitude areas with minimal disturbance and abundant resources. Findings provide a foundation for developing cohesive protection strategies, crucial for long‐term conservation.

Habitat selection of Meriones hurrianae in the Thar Desert: Integrating land cover, shrubs, and predators

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding the ecological and anthropogenic drivers of habitat selection in native species is critical for biodiversity conservation, particularly in arid ecosystems experiencing rapid land use change. We investigated the burrow density and occurrence of the Indian desert gerbil in the Thar Desert.
