Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Roads are a major source of landscape fragmentation that can influence movement patterns, survival, and behavioral states of carnivore species. Understanding their behavior and response to roads is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies such as wildlife crossing structures, exclusion fencing, and habitat connectivity planning ...

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.

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

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2379-2394, August 2026.Abstract Automatic re‐identification of animals has significant potential to address pressing ecological and conservation challenges through improved population monitoring, individual health assessment and detailed behavioural analyses. Although numerous computer‐vision‐based solutions have been proposed and many achieve high accuracy, most remain ...

Tree Climbing in African Lions and Leopards
African 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 ...

American Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 296-309, August 2026.Abstract The world of Colombian gaited horses, or cultura caballista (horse‐riding culture), is often linked with uribismo, the right‐wing identity associated with former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez. Ethnographic fieldwork in conflict‐torn Antioquia reveals how horse‐human practices of training, breeding, and competition cultivate orientations toward ...

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Human islets are widely researched to understand pathophysiological mechanisms leading to diabetes. Sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) are key donor traits influencing islet function, which is also regulated by an intricate network of microRNAs.

Application of Systems Genetics to Investigate Molecular Pathology of Early‐Onset Colorectal Cancer
Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 2, August 2026.Early‐onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) presents a complex molecular landscape that requires integrated multi‐omics approaches. This article reviews current applications of systems genetics in EOCRC research and provides a step‐by‐step protocol for network‐based analyses featuring PIK3CA to demonstrate practical application for researchers of all levels.
