Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

Functional Responses Shape Node and Network Level Properties of a Simplified Boreal Food Web

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ecological communities are fundamentally connected through a network of trophic interactions that are often complex and difficult to model. Substantial variation exists in the nature and magnitude of these interactions across various predators and prey ...

Monitoring Brown Bears in Kazakhstan: A Pilot Study from the Altai Mountain Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Here, we present results from the first camera trapping operation designed to detect brown bears in the Altai Mountain Region of Kazahstan and highlight some lessons learned from the pilot study. Our study was conducted at a relatively local scale but represents a first step towards understanding the presence of brown bears and other mammals in a ...

Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

Species‐specific interactions with apex carnivores yield unique benefits and burdens for mesocarnivores

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Mesocarnivores navigate a complex risk–reward continuum in ecosystems shared with their apex counterparts, balancing scavenging opportunities with risks of mortality. However, the risks to mesocarnivores in multi‐carnivore systems are not uniform; they can vary with specific apex–meso pairings.

Stabilizing selection and mitochondrial heteroplasmy in the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Genome
Mitochondrial DNA is commonly used in population genetic studies to investigate spatial structure, intraspecific variation, and phylogenetic relationships. The control region is the most rapidly evolving and largest non-coding region, but its analysis can be complicated by heteroplasmic signals of genome duplication in many mammals, including felids ...

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) as an Apex Predator: Investigating the Ecological Role of the World's Most Abundant Large Carnivore

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.
