Predators and scavengers: Polar bears as marine carrion providers

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Scavenging is a foraging strategy widely used across the animal kingdom and apex predators provide a large amount of energy in a food web by provisioning carrion. In the harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic, apex predators such as polar bears Ursus maritimus can provide scavenging opportunities for many species. Carrion can act as a buffer when

Exploring narratives of human–nature connections in protected areas

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 37-50, January 2026.
Abstract Protected areas have become the most widespread strategy for nature conservation, and are currently expanding worldwide. Many of them are inhabited or close to inhabited areas, shaping and being shaped by connections between people and nature. These connections are not always positive.

Integrating predator energetic balance, risk‐taking behaviour and microhabitat in functional response to untangle indirect interactions in a multispecies vertebrate community

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 70-82, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Predator–prey interactions in natural communities are complex, with predators often exploiting multiple prey types and generating indirect interactions among them. Ecological theory has traditionally modelled these interactions using functional response models which are
