Impact of reintroduced elaphure on soil carbon storage in eastern Jiangsu Province, China
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The reintroduction in the wild of elaphure or Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) in a coastal wetland in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province, in the absence of an apex predator has been shown to negatively impact the ecosystem through overgrazing, which, over time, can also degrade the soil's ability to sequester atmospheric carbon ...

Megagrazer loss drives complex landscape-scale biophysical cascades
Environmental Research LettersWild animals can modulate ecosystem-climate feedbacks, e.g. through impacts on vegetation and associated carbon dynamics. However, vegetation cover and composition also affect land surface albedo, which is an important component of the global energy ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) breeds in dense colonies along the Peruvian coast, mostly within protected areas managed by the Servicio Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas por el Estado (SERNANP). To support responsible wildlife tourism near breeding sites, we evaluated the behavioral responses to controlled ...
