Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Freshwater turtles play vital roles in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by supporting ecological balance, nutrient cycling and regulating prey populations. Unfortunately, they are among the most threatened species worldwide. Habitat fragmentation, illegal trade, overharvesting for meat, and use in ethnomedicinal practices have severely ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The populations of many deer species across Europe are widely reported to be increasing, leading to potentially greater impacts on forest ecosystems. Our understanding of factors driving the regional distribution (e.g. 1 km2 resolution) of deer populations is, however, often limited by a lack of knowledge of where deer are within the landscape.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.In fenced protected areas where large carnivore populations persist or have been restored through reintroduction, population monitoring is essential to inform management. Robust density estimates are particularly important given the strong influence of large carnivores on ecosystem processes, yet such data remain scarce for arid systems where ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We used spatially explicit capture‐recapture to estimate jaguar densities in a private reserve in the Colombian Llanos and quantified land cover change in and around the reserve from 2014 to 2024. Densities increased 22% since 2014, while disturbed land cover increased by 39%–54% around the reserve depending on buffer distance. Our study indicates that

Urban oases relax desiccation risk for an arid‐adapted lizard
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization from expanding human development has radically altered the structure, ecology and microclimate of landscapes worldwide. These dramatic environmental alterations subject organisms to novel ecological conditions and may select for distinct ecophysiological ...

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article analyses key factors related to citizen participation in place governance processes. We study how network characteristics (ties and trust), sense of power (ability to influence outcomes), and affective characteristics such as bond with place (place attachment) relate to resource‐intensive and resource‐extensive citizen ...
