The Implications of Ungulate Population Dynamics for Conservation and Recovery Efforts in the Middle East

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using long‐term population data from Arabian oryx and sand gazelle populations across the Middle East, we found consistent evidence of negative density dependence, with annual growth rates declining as population size increased, alongside evidence of temporal lag effects in Arabian oryx.

Habitat features influencing jaguar Panthera onca (Carnivora: Felidae) occupancy in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Habitat characteristics and human activities are known to play a major role in the occupancy of jaguars Panthera onca across their range, however the key variables influencing jaguar distribution in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica, have yet to be ...

Inferring Geographic Origin of White‐Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a Region Experiencing Long‐Term Effects of Chronic Wasting Disease

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We analyzed 1749 samples of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) genotyped for > 63,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms to assess genetic structure in the mid‐Atlantic region of the USA, and to evaluate the effectiveness of genetic methods to retrieve the correct geographic origin of deer. The inferred genetic structure can inform the delineation

Mapping connectivity between important jaguar (Panthera onca) habitats in the Americas

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Habitat loss and reduced connectivity threaten the long‐term persistence of many large carnivore species across their ranges. Understanding connectivity among carnivore populations can bolster existing conservation strategies, and telemetry data from GPS collars are critical to informing these strategies.

Integrating ZooMS and taphonomy further highlights differential processing of animal and Neandertal carcasses in the Quina Mousterian at Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, southwest France)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1125-1140, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The cave of Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, France) was repeatedly visited by Neandertals ~55 000 years ago and is a key site in discussions of Neandertal cannibalism. Excavations between 1967 and 1980 (Vandermeersch) and between 2001 and 2013 (Maureille/Mann) produced a rich faunal assemblage (>20 000 bones), alongside Quina Mousterian ...

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Drought intensifies dominant competitor avoidance and risk‐dependent habitat selection in a large carnivore guild

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Intraguild competition is a key force structuring predator communities, with dominant species impacting subordinate species' space use and access to resources. Climate change may intensify or reshape these processes, yet how climate conditions interact with dominance to influence predator space use and resource selection remains poorly understood.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3430-3445, October 2026.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.
