Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Pastoralists in African savanna ecosystems are shifting from livelihoods based purely on livestock only to a blended approach of livestock keeping and wildlife conservation for eco‐tourism. A popular feature of this model is the establishment of community conservancies that encourage co‐existence of traditional livestock keeping with wildlife ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The human‐built environment influences the behavior and survival of many species, but most of these studies have been conducted in urban areas. Yet, anthropogenic development may impact species differently across scales, including at the rural level. We examined whether the built environment in a rural area obstructed visibility and influenced

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Movement strategies of animals have been well studied as a function of ecological drivers (e.g., forage selection and avoiding predation) rather than physiological requirements (e.g., thermoregulation). Thermal stress is a major concern for large mammals,

Lectin histochemistry of the temporal gland of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana).
Histology and histopathology, 2010 The study demonstrates the free sugar spectrum of the secretion of the tubuloaveolar temporal gland of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), using lectin histochemistry. In the elephant, the spectrum contained, besides strongly varying amounts of α-D-mannose, very remarkable reactions for α-D-galactose and to a certain extent also for α-D-N-acetyl-

Spatial behavior of socially isolated wild pigs (Sus scrofa) following sounder removal via trapping
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5225-5236, June 2026.Following partial sounder removal, socially isolated wild pigs maintained site fidelity near traps, highlighting post‐control behavioral tendencies that are relevant to pest management and disease mitigation. Abstract BACKGROUND The rapid expansion of wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations across North America, coupled with increased concern over disease ...
