Changes in utilization of canal crossing structures by desert mammal communities during the COVID‐19 lockdown

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We investigated desert mammals' utilization of canal wildlife crossing structures (WCSs) in Xinjiang, China, employing COVID‐19 lockdowns as a natural experiment to evaluate anthropogenic disturbance effects. Camera trap data for four focal species revealed shifts in encounter rates, activity patterns, and predator‐prey interactions across pandemic ...
