People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 270-282, February 2026.Abstract Chinese consumer demand for ivory threatens vulnerable African elephant populations, despite long‐standing efforts to combat the illegal wildlife trade. Behavioural science approaches have been proposed to address these systemic behaviours. However, their robust use remains uncommon in demand management interventions.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 279-296, February 2026.ABSTRACT Fire is a major form of environmental disturbance, and in recent years, due to anthropogenic climate change and anthropogenic land management, we are seeing increases in the frequency and intensity of fires. With bees being an important, diverse group of pollinators that is facing declines globally, understanding how they respond to fires is ...

Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Evidence for a fisher‐designed solution to manta and devil ray bycatch in tuna fisheries
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Bycatch in global tropical tuna purse seine fisheries represents a significant source of mortality for manta and devil rays (mobulids), which are globally threatened. Use of best handling and rapid release practices on purse seine vessels can substantially reduce mortality and improve vulnerability status for mobulids.

Balancing benefits and burdens: Tourist camps and lion conservation in the Maasai Mara
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.Wildlife tourism supports conservation and economies, but its rapid expansion can negatively impact ecosystems. Using spatially explicit lion density data from the Maasai Mara (2014–2022), we found that higher densities of tourist camps significantly reduce lion presence, independent of prey or vegetation, and that newly established camps displace ...
