Field size as a determinant of common vole population density

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2740-2745, March 2026.
Population densities of the common vole, an agricultural pest, increase nonlinearly with forage field size, especially in fields below 20 ha. Reducing the field size may help limit crop damage in farmland. Abstract BACKGROUND Environmental heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes is a key driver of biodiversity and ecological processes, yet its role in

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2177-2189, March 2026.
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Working 9 to 5: Diurnal Variability in Terrestrial Invertebrate Activity Does Not Compromise Ecosystem Health Assessments in Dry Stream Channels

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 676-688, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

Breed Distribution of the Superoxide Dismutase 1 Gene Polymorphism Associated With Degenerative Myelopathy in a Canine Population From Different Geographical Regions of Türkiye

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The SOD1:c.118G>A mutation associated with canine degenerative myelopathy was identified for the first time in the Kangal Shepherd, with an allele frequency of 0.057; it was also detected in the German Shepherd at a frequency of 0.140 and in the Toy Poodle at 0.089. The mutant allele frequency in the canine population in Türkiye has been estimated at 0.

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
