Local Knowledge and Human–Wildlife Conflict in the Conservation of the Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) in Its Main Refuge in the Atlantic Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), a top predator of Neotropical forests, faces severe threats across its range, including in the Atlantic Forest. Using 50 years of occurrence records, including nests and multiple age classes, we document the species' persistence in one of its last reproductive refuges while revealing ongoing human–wildlife conflicts ...

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

Revista 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 ...

No Evidence of Reactive Avoidance of Baboons (Papio ursinus and Papio anubis) to the Presence of Predators

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
In this study, we took advantage of the largest camera trap‐based monitoring project in Africa, Snapshot Safari and analyzed 10,000 camera trap detections from three sites in South Africa and one site in Tanzania to test whether baboons exhibit species‐specific reactive avoidance in response to the presence of predators. ABSTRACT Predators exert strong

Activity Patterns and Predator–Prey Temporal Overlap in the High Tiger‐Density Area Bardia National Park, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We estimated daily activity patterns and assessed temporal overlap between the Royal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), an apex predator, and their primary prey: chital (Axis axis), sambar (Rusa unicolor), muntjac (Muntiacus muntjac), and hog deer (Axis porcinus) in Bardia National Park (BNP), a protected area in Nepal with a high density of tigers.

Assessment of the Role of Fire Regime as a Determinant of Habitat Selection by Medium‐Sized Grazers in a West African Savanna

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Fire is an important driver of habitat selection by herbivores species and savannah ecology. The present study aims at assessing the fire role in determining the habitat selection by grazer species. Our results reveal that the majority of grazer species studied displayed a strong occurrences inclination towards recently burned areas during the season ...

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Coexistence under constraint: Spatiotemporal co‐occurrence in a dryland carnivore guild

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Interspecific competition plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and dynamics of large carnivore guilds. Extreme temperatures and heightened resource heterogeneity in drylands can present additional challenges to intraguild coexistence, potentially making dryland carnivore guilds particularly susceptible to climate change and ...
