Ancient people and living nature: A global perspective on archaeological areas and biodiversity
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1085-1099, May 2026.Abstract Archaeological sites are not only of cultural and historical significance but also contribute to biodiversity conservation. Often marked by limited human disturbance and distinct ecological conditions, these areas serve as important refuges for various plant and animal species, playing a vital role in global conservation efforts.

Exploring perceptions of Italian urban wildlife on TikTok
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1470-1484, May 2026.Abstract In Western cities, some animals are valued for their beauty, rarity or usefulness, while others are dismissed as unwelcome. This distinction reflects the cultural meanings attached to each species and frequently conflicts with ecological priorities.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The Island Mass Effect (IME) in tropical regions remains understudied, despite its potential to fertilize oligotrophic oceanic gyres and impact on higher trophic levels. Guadeloupe provides an ideal case study of IME due to its diverse nutrient sources, dual exposure to the Caribbean Sea on the western coast and Atlantic Ocean on the eastern ...

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Correcting Lipid Extraction Effects on Nitrogen Isotopic Values (δ15N) in Cetacean Skin
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) are widely used to study the feeding ecology of cetaceans, as they provide critical insights into diet and migratory behaviors. Lipids in tissues may bias the interpretation of δ13C. Because of this, lipids need to be extracted before measuring stable isotope ratios, but their removal may ...

A cosmopolitan parasite of Rattus in the Galápagos rodents raises conservation concerns
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.We draw attention to a recent study that identified the invasive nematode Mastophorus muris, typically associated with Rattus, infecting two endemic Galápagos rats on islands where no invasive rodents have been previously recorded. This unexpected finding raises concerns about undetected rodent introductions and highlights the urgent need for ...

A narrative review of the impact of anthropogenic light and noise on owls
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 5-24, January 2026.Today, owls are exposed to increasingly brightly lit nights and noisy environments because of human activities. To understand the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) and anthropogenic noise we performed an evidence synthesis. We searched four literature databases and Google Scholar and we collected 39 relevant articles (1945–2024) providing 125

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 310-335, October 2025.This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.

DeepForestVision: Automated wildlife identification for camera traps of African tropical forests
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) observed on camera trap in Kibale National Park, Uganda. This frame was extracted from a 30 s video classified as chimpanzee by DeepForestVision with a confidence score of 0.99 (©Sebitoli Chimpanzee Project). Abstract Tropical forests are rich in biodiversity but face the rapid loss of their wildlife due to increasing ...

High‐throughput microfluidic real‐time PCR as a promising tool in disease ecology
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1625-1637, September 2025.This work highlights the diversity of disease ecology questions Htrt PCR could contribute to addressing in a given host–pathogen ecosystem. This tool could be used to answer a broad set of basic and applied questions in animal ecology, notably by providing a way to address issues involving communities of hosts and communities of pathogens.
