Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Dryland ecosystem stability is increasingly threatened by amplified precipitation variability, nitrogen (N) deposition, and grazing pressure. While these drivers independently alter grassland structure, their interactive effects on the critical diversity‐productivity relationship remain poorly understood, particularly under contrasting ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 736-749, March 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Detecting disease progression from animal movement using hidden Markov models
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.We demonstrate how (H)HMMs can be tailored to different epidemiological scenarios and provide a template workflow for developing and selecting Hidden Markov models to infer disease status from animal movement data. Identifying infection before mortality occurs offers a valuable early‐warning tool for population managers, reduces reliance on difficult ...

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 137-149, March 2026.Border disease viruses (BDV) and bovine viral diarrhoea viruses (BVDV) are members of the Pestivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae. While BVDV is one of the most significant endemic viral infections of cattle in Australia, BDV infection is generally considered to be uncommon in Australian sheep.
