Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.

Cougar density on the Oregon Coast: Using dead recovery modeling in an open population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
The primary objective of this study was to determine cougar density in western Oregon. Our results demonstrate that integrating DNA collected via bio‐darting, mandatory hunter‐harvest check‐ins, and GPS collar data into the OPCR2 is a reliable method for estimating cougar densities in densely forested coastal systems.

Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.
Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings. Abstract Anthropogenic

Habitat connectivity shapes biodiversity outcomes in Indonesia's community‐managed forests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings suggest that community‐managed forests established within predominantly forested areas can make a meaningful contribution to area‐based conservation, including recognition as Other Effective Area‐based Conservation Measures (OECMs). In community‐managed forests established in more modified production landscapes, targeted restoration and ...

Tree Climbing in African Lions and Leopards

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tree climbing has been documented in most felids, but patterns, correlates, and possible functions of this behaviour are not well documented for all species, including the African lion. Using a comparative behavioural ecology approach and drawing on opportunistic field observations from multiple sites in northern Tanzania, I used Bayesian ...
