Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Contemporary conservation goals have a greater chance of success when practitioners collaborate with Indigenous communities. The importance of such collaborations has spurred calls by Western and Indigenous researchers to engage in equitable coproduction of ecological research that integrates multiple ways of knowing.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Mosquitoes in Eastern Ontario, Canada, readily fed on bloodmeal hosts consistent with patterns observed in other regions of North America. Enzootic and bridge vector mosquitoes fed on amplification hosts like American Robins (Turdus migratorius) together with humans, highlighting a potential route for WNV and EEEV transmission to human populations. Our

Installation, repair, retrieval, and economic returns of S3DI systems in corn and cotton rotations
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract The use of shallow subsurface drip irrigation (S3DI) systems in row crops can be economically favorable, provided the system remains in the field without major repairs for a substantial period. This research documents installation, repairs, retrieval, and partial economic returns of S3DI systems in service for 4, 5, 6, and 8 years.

The Importance of Individual Body Condition in Mammalian Behavioural Responses to Disturbance
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Body condition, shaped by the balance between energy demands and reserves, predictably shapes mammalian disturbance responses. Poor‐condition individuals adopt needs‐based strategies, accepting greater risks to meet immediate energetic needs, while good‐condition individuals follow asset‐protection strategies, minimizing risks to protect their survival

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We opportunistically characterize a 2.5 km white‐tailed deer movement along a beach in a suburban coastal environment, providing a natural history account of deer behavior amidst intersectional factors. We also describe multiple notable behaviors performed by the deer that could be caused by a variety of factors, including disorientation, illness, or ...

Scavenger Assemblage Behavior at Puma Kills in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The count of the number of kills visited for each scavenger species and the number of kills where the species was the first to discover the carcass. ABSTRACT Scavengers structure food webs through consuming carrion and cycling nutrients in ecosystems. Scavenger assemblages are shaped by multiple factors, including intra‐ and interspecific competition ...

Influence of temperature, landscape, and fine‐scale forage availability on ungulate morphometrics
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Abiotic and biotic variables strongly influence morphological variation in wildlife, but there is disagreement on the relative importance of various factors. Primary competing hypotheses regarding drivers of interpopulation animal morphology include those related to heat regulation and those related to forage availability.

Unveiling the predator–prey spatial game using multiple habitat selection functions
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract There has been extensive work on the predator–prey spatial game, with a focus on how prey spatially respond to predators and how predators respond spatially to the distribution of various prey. Central to this work is the distinction between actual risk of predation relative to landscape availability and determining what prey perceive as risky
