Climbing the urban canopy: Camera trap insights into mammal activity and habitat use
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Urbanization profoundly impacts wildlife behavior and habitat use. While the effects of urbanization on diel activity patterns and mammal interactions have been well studied at the ground level, little is known about spatiotemporal patterns above the ground.

Sylvatic trichinellosis in Texas
Parasite, 2001 There are no published reports of domestic or sylvatic trichinellosis in Texas. The aim of the present survey was to determine the presence of Trichinella species in selected representative species of potential wildlife reservoirs in southern Texas.

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.

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Anthropogenic noise (anthrophony) can have significant negative effects on wildlife, causing both physiological (i.e., increased stress hormone production) and behavioral (i.e., altered anti‐predator behaviors, space use, or diel activity) changes in individuals.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Modeling and Mapping Coyote (Canis latrans) Abundance in Northwestern Vermont [PDF]
, 2018 Predators such as, coyotes (Canis latrans), have profound effects on ecosystems. Coyotes are recent arrivals in the northeastern United States of America, and in Vermont their ecology remains poorly understood.

Of hummingbirds and helicopters: Hovering costs, competitive ability, and foraging strategies [PDF]
, 2004 Wing morphology and flight kinematics profoundly influence foraging costs and the overall behavioral ecology of hummingbirds. By analogy with helicopters, previous energetic studies have applied the momentum theory of aircraft propellers to estimate ...
