Winter Track Survey of the Amur Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia 俄罗斯滨海边疆区西南部东北虎 (Panthera tigris altaica) 冬季足迹调查

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In the winter of 2021/2022, a winter track survey revealed 43–46 tigers (without cubs) in 5.4 thousand km2 of suitable habitats in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia. In the same period, a network of camera traps registered 54 adult/subadult tigers here.

Human‐Caused Leopard Deaths in Sri Lanka Are Concentrated in Central Highlands' Estate Mosaics: Evidence From 17 Years of Mortality Records 人为因素导致斯里兰卡豹死亡事件集中于中部高地种植园镶嵌景观:来自 17 年死亡记录的证据

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Human‐caused leopard deaths in Sri Lanka averaged 9.65 ± 4.5 records year−1 over 17 years (2008–2024; n = 164), with records highly clustered in the central highland mosaic ecosystem. Mortality was dominated by adult males and driven primarily by snaring in plantation landscapes, and indicating an increase approximately 0.7–0.8 deaths per year.

Human hunters are no substitute for vanishing apex predators

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that human hunters fail to replicate the collective and individual ecological functions of natural apex predators in sustaining biodiversity and promoting stable spatial patterns. These insights are vital for rethinking predator conservation and wildlife management in human‐dominated landscapes.

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

The Formosan Black Bear and Taiwanese Nationalism

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building on scholarship that situates nations and nationalism within colonial relations, this article examines nationalism in settler‐colonial Taiwan amid China's colonial claim to sovereignty. Drawing on interviews, conservation documents and popular representations, we show how the Formosan black bear became a national symbol of resistance ...

Behavioral and Historical Processes Jointly Maintain Genetic Connectivity in Fragmented Chinese Water Deer Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We challenge a major paradigm in mammalian ecology by demonstrating female‐biased dispersal in an artiodactyl, the endangered Chinese water deer. This key behavioral mechanism drives high gene flow across a fragmented landscape, effectively creating a genetic rescue effect that maintains population connectivity and counters inbreeding. ABSTRACT Habitat

Ecological and Social Dimensions of Human–Bear Coexistence in Nepal's Gaurishankar Conservation Area

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We modelled habitat suitability for Asiatic black bears in Nepal's Gaurishankar Conservation Area and combined it with community surveys to understand human–bear coexistence. Our results show that bear habitat is concentrated between 1000 and 3000 m and that conflict is rising in forest‐edge communities.

How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

The Great Bustard (Otis tarda) and Common Crane (Grus grus) Utilize Food Resources via Gut Microbiota Remodeling During Wintering in the Yellow River Wetlands in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study detected the diet and gut microbiota of great bustards and common cranes in the wintering duration in the Yellow River Wetlands of Inner Mongolia using high‐throughput sequencing technology. This study indirectly indicated that great bustards and common cranes are well‐adapted to the environment of the Yellow River Wetlands during the ...
