Evolutionary and Ecological Determinants of the Phenology of Births in Wild Large Herbivores, a Systematic Review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

Personality Matters: Owner‐Ascribed Personality Predicts Range Size Tendencies and Predation Behavior in Domestic Cats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Free‐ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) can impact wildlife through predation and landscape of fear. We monitored 23 suburban cats south of Paris using GPS collars and animal‐borne cameras and assessed personality traits via owner questionnaires.

Fly or Dry? River Flow and Dispersal Mode Drive Cross‐Channel β Diversity in Riparian Zones

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Terrestrial arthropods play a key role in riparian ecosystems, but it remains unclear whether drying stream channels act as barriers shaping communities on opposite banks. By sampling a family of largely ground‐dwelling arthropods along a gradient of flow permanence during a flow recession, we found that communities on parallel banks were generally ...

Ecological Trap in the Nest: Human Hair Causes the Death of Breeding Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The prevalence of anthropogenic materials in barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) nests and their association with entanglement injury or mortality was studied. We report for the first time that hair incorporated into nests can cause entanglement mortality in barn swallows.

Contrasted habitat selection among Eurasian curlew populations according to landscape heterogeneity and breeding stage

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.
