Impact of reintroduced elaphure on soil carbon storage in eastern Jiangsu Province, China

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction The reintroduction in the wild of elaphure or Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) in a coastal wetland in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province, in the absence of an apex predator has been shown to negatively impact the ecosystem through overgrazing, which, over time, can also degrade the soil's ability to sequester atmospheric carbon ...

Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Neonate survival is among the primary demographics underpinning ungulate populations. Though few studies have quantified handling‐induced effects on neonates, there is concern from stakeholders that handling neonates affects survival.

Indexing body condition of bighorn sheep: potential for concordance among independent investigators?

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Estimates of body condition or body composition are useful metrics, and consistency among results determined by independent investigators enhances their utility. If concordant, albeit subjective, assessments of body condition can be achieved by personnel

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1641-1661, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Individualised niches: an integrative conceptual framework across behaviour, ecology, and evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1793-1804, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Individuals differ. While seemingly trivial, this insight has nevertheless led to paradigm shifts, as three key fields of organismal biology have seen marked changes in key concepts over the past few decades. In animal behaviour, it has become increasingly recognised that behavioural differences among individuals can be stable over time and ...
