Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1539-1557, September 2026.
Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

Contrastive ecoacoustic indices: Large‐scale global soundscape characterization with contrastive inference

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 9, Page 2663-2682, September 2026.
Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...

Denning Phenology Mediates Sea‐Ice Loss Impacts on Early Reproductive Success in Polar Bears

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Changes in overwinter sheltering phenology in response to climate change and their fitness consequences have rarely been studied. Here, we show that climate change has disrupted the phenology of overwinter maternity denning in polar bears, with females emerging from den earlier when sea‐ice had been scarce the preceding year.

Altered by Gold: A Comparative Zooarchaeological Analysis of 19th to 20th Century Chinese and British Migrants in Ravenswood, a Northern Queensland Gold Mining Town

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 312-333, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Gold discoveries transformed the 19th century British colony of Queensland, Australia, driving migration, a second wave of pastoral expansion northwards, and an increasingly diverse population. This study presents a comparative and contextual zooarchaeological analysis of British and southern Chinese food waste—globally significant migrant ...

Exploring Progesterone Levels and Scaled Mass Index as Predictors of Pregnancy in Free‐Ranging Belugas

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring pregnancy rates can provide vital information regarding a population's viability and trajectory. This study combined drone‐based photogrammetry with biopsy darting to determine if the Scaled Mass Index (SMI) estimated from aerial images can be used to identify pregnant, free‐ranging St.

Ancient people and living nature: A global perspective on archaeological areas and biodiversity

open access: yesPeople 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.
