Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Renewable energy is vital for reducing carbon emissions and yet its infrastructure poses challenges to biodiversity. While the impacts of wind power on bats and raptors are well‐studied, the effects on elusive species remain largely unknown. The Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola, a nocturnal forest bird, performs characteristic courtship flights at ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Effective population size (Ne) is a useful parameter to evaluate the long‐term viability of populations. While obtaining enough field data from wild populations to estimate Ne directly is challenging, molecular techniques applied to non‐invasive samples provide an appealing alternative.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia
Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...
