Jackdaws use lynx scat in nests: Implications for Iberian lynx genetic monitoring

We present the first documented case of jackdaws (Coloeus monedula) collecting and placing Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) scat in their nests in the Montes de Toledo, Spain.

Application of close‐kin mark–recapture to an American black bear population using harvest samples

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) offers a promising alternative to traditional mark–recapture methods for estimating wildlife population parameters. CKMR estimates demographic parameters by identifying genetic relationships between individuals, effectively “recapturing” parental genotypes through their offspring's genetic profiles.

Chronic Wasting Disease Exposure Risk to Male Cervids During the Mating Season in A Multi‐Host Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Multi‐host cervid communities impacted by chronic wasting disease pose challenges for understanding exposure risk, especially during the mating season when male contact rates peak. Using camera traps at local infectious zones, we found that environmental interspecific exposure risk occurred almost exclusively at water tanks and scrape sites—reaching ...

Wolves and humans both shape patterns of deer browsing in a temperate forest ecosystem of Central Europe

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Predator–prey interactions can trigger behavioural responses in ungulates, influencing their space‐use and foraging behaviour and, in turn, indirectly affecting browsing pressure. Changes in browsing pressure can affect plant recruitment and species composition, shaping forest regeneration through predator‐mediated trophic cascades.

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3446-3458, October 2026.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 1859-1875, October 2026.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Restoring elk in Minnesota: Landowner support for restoring an elk population

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study surveyed landowners in northeast Minnesota to understand psychological factors influencing support for restoring a wild, free‐ranging elk population. Findings showed that positive attitudes toward elk—shaped by perceived risks, social trust in wildlife managers, and perceived personal control—strongly predicted support, with the model ...
