People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3402-3415, October 2026.Abstract There is rising recognition of resource‐use rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) within wildlife conservation. Historically, sociocultural institutions ensured wildlife sustainability in many IPLC areas. However, the future viability of such institutions is uncertain as IPLCs change in response to external pressures and ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.ABSTRACT Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (NUMTs) are genomic DNA fragments that originate from historical insertions of mitochondrial DNA sequences into the nuclear genome. During mitochondrial genome (mtgenome) assembly from short‐read genome sequencing data, NUMT fragments may be misidentified and incorporated into mtgenome assemblies, leading to ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 409-431, October 2026.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

The cat's out of the bag: Examining US wildlife trade of felids from 2000 to 2020
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.Felids feature heavily in the wildlife trade, and an investigation into LEMIS data from 2000 to 2020 showed felid imports were dominated by bobcats and Canada lynx for fur, while tigers and leopards were the most commonly traded cats in the illegal market, primarily as medicinal products.

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.Household surveys in Kunjo, Mustang district examined local perceptions of Asiatic black bear conservation, crop damage, and human‐bear interactions. Crop damage was greater near forest edges, while more than half of households have negative attitude towards bear conservation. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating local perceptions and
