Living in the Pyrocene: Assemblage‐Wide Terrestrial Vertebrate Responses to Mega‐Fires in the Pantanal Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
More than 60% of Serra do Amolar within the Pantanal Wetlands, Brazil, was burned in 2020. Nine vertebrate species showed a dependency on forest areas, which are more vulnerable to fires in this region, despite the fire not having shown a direct effect on the occupation.

Human‐Carnivore Conflicts and Associated Economic Losses in Villages Adjacent to Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest, Western Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Conflicts between humans and carnivores were assessed in the nearby settlements of the Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest. This aimed to identify carnivorous species responsible for livestock depredations, quantify the economic losses resulting from depredations, and identify strategies used by nearby communities to prevent human‐carnivore conflicts in the ...

Sympatry Increases Predation Risk for an Endangered Ungulate

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We characterized predation risk for Peninsular bighorn sheep and southern mule deer across their ranges to understand how topography, habitat, forage, and prey habitat suitability affect where pumas are likely to predate both species. The presence of the second ungulate species increased predation risk for both species but had the greatest effect on ...

Tigers in the Neighborhood: Factors Associated With Fatal Tiger Attacks in a Human‐Dominated Landscape, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We documented 245 tiger attacks on humans (141 fatalities) during 2010–2024 in Nepal. Most of the attacks (> 90%) occurred inside forest areas. Men were attacked more frequently (65.3%) but fatality was higher among women (> 70%). The majority of the victims (93%) had education of secondary level or below.

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...
