Reducing data processing effort in camera trap density estimation: Extending the REST model by explicitly modelling animal detection processes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 850-862, March 2026.
Abstract Accurate and reliable estimation of wildlife population density is fundamental to effective conservation and management. While camera traps show potential for monitoring ground‐dwelling mammal densities, labour‐intensive data processing remains a significant constraint. Ideally, conservation efforts would benefit from the continuous monitoring

Avian influenza overview December 2025–February 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Between 29 November 2025 and 27 February 2026, 2514 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (406) and wild (2108) birds in 32 countries in Europe. Albeit still at high levels after the peak was reached at the beginning of the current reporting period, the weekly number of detections has since ...

Urbanization and Habitat Diversity Promote Endozoochorous Seed Dispersal by Raccoon Dogs Within Forest Fragments in Tokyo

Ecology and Evolution
Urbanization affects biodiversity and essential ecological functions, such as animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Novel urban habitats introduce environmental heterogeneity that alters the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal.

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co‐roosting host communities

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

Nyctereutes terblanchei: The raccoon dog that never was

South African Journal of Science, 2012
Fossils of the raccoon dog (genus Nyctereutes) are particularly rare in the African Plio-Pleistocene record, whilst the sole living representative, Nyctereutes procyonoides, is found in eastern Asia and parts of Europe.

Preventing the next invasion: Lessons from aquaculture for the safe expansion of insect farming

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
We argue that preemptive risk assessments, species screening and transferable, adaptive regulatory frameworks developed for aquaculture offer a critical foundation for safeguarding against insect#x02010;driven invasions. Proactive governance that embeds these safeguards before large#x02010;scale expansion offers a rare opportunity to prevent invasion ...
