Cumulative Early‐Life Adversities Predict Short‐ and Long‐Term Survival in a Critically Endangered Lemur (Propithecus verreauxi)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Infant survival of wild Verreaux's sifakas was impacted by different cumulative indices of early adversities. Of the single factors, maternal loss, large group size and the absence of an older sibling decreased the odds of survival across the lifespan. Adversities early in life have persistent negative long‐term effects on survival.

Balancing risk and reward—Perceptions of bats and their ecological role in Reunion island

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2720-2733, August 2026.
Abstract Context: Bats provide vital ecosystem services but can also generate disservices or sanitary concerns, particularly where human–bat interactions are frequent. Understanding public perceptions of bats is essential for effective conservation and risk communication.

Vibrio Community Structure Shapes the Diversity of Carbenicillin‐Hydrolysing Class A β‐Lactamase Circulating in European Coastal Environments

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vibrio communities shape carbenicillinase diversity in European coasts. Sediments serve as reservoirs of antibiotic‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus, which can move into the water column and accumulate in bivalves. This spreads β‐lactamase resistance and raises human exposure risks to antibiotic‐resistant pathogenic Vibrio, especially as higher seawater ...

RAPID: Real‐time animal pattern re‐identification on edge devices, an open‐source tool for field deployment

open access: yesMethods 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 ...

Impact of Body Reserves Dynamic on Productivity and Reproductive Performance in Fat-Tail and Thin-Tail Sheep Breeds over Contrasting Production Cycles

open access: yesAnimals
Under climate change, animal breeding faces severe nutritional challenges, exhibiting their resilience and efficiency to survive and produce. The animals’ robustness can be evaluated through the use and reconstitution of body reserves (BR).

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia. We explored whether messages about the legal and health risks of using elephant skin for medicinal purposes (stomach illness) could reduce such consumption.
