Shedding light on the dark: Does artificial illumination affect mammal activity at waterholes in sub‐Saharan Africa?

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

Personality Matters: Owner‐Ascribed Personality Predicts Range Size Tendencies and Predation Behavior in Domestic Cats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Free‐ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) can impact wildlife through predation and landscape of fear. We monitored 23 suburban cats south of Paris using GPS collars and animal‐borne cameras and assessed personality traits via owner questionnaires.
