Mating Attempts and Sustained Interest Behaviors of Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) Toward a Dead Conspecific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.

Necrophagous Insects and Internal Temperature Synergistically Determine Duration of the Decomposition Process for Deer Carcasses When Vertebrate Scavengers are Excluded

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Predicted survival curves from the accelerated failure time (AFT) model showing the probability that deer carcass weight remains above 30% of its initial value over time. Curves represent predictions at −1 SD, mean, and + 1 SD of each covariate (initial body weight, average air temperature, and duration until the first peak in internal carcass ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 265-282, July 2025.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...
