Species traits mediate the abundant‐center patterns in ground‐dwelling mammal and bird species in China

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
The abundance center hypothesis (ACH) posits that species abundance peaks at distribution centers; however, empirical support remains inconsistent. This study tested the generality of the ACH and investigated species traits as mediators of abundance–distance relationships.

Defaunation Maps for Tropical Mammals and Birds

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Overhunting is a major driver of defaunation in tropical ecosystems, yet its impacts and spatial extent remain challenging to quantify through conventional remote sensing approaches. Novel modelling frameworks based on quantitative relationships between impacts on wildlife populations and the main drivers of hunting pressure have ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions

Evolutionary and Ecological Determinants of the Phenology of Births in Wild Large Herbivores, a Systematic Review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.
