Economic incentives contribute little to reducing agricultural damage from invasive non‐native species: evidence from raccoon management in Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2588-2594, March 2026.
This study reveals the nonsignificant effects of economic incentives reducing crop damage by raccoons. Our results also show that while these incentives increase the number of captured raccoons, the additional captures fail to result in measurable reductions in agricultural damage. Abstract BACKGROUND An economic incentive scheme is utilized to enhance

Perspectives on wildlife agency mange management in black bears and other carnivores

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wildlife professionals across 17 states shared insights on sarcoptic mange management in black bears and other carnivores. Findings reveal shared priorities for dispatching severely affected individuals, support for public reporting, and a desire for coordinated messaging, improved stakeholder engagement, and centralized data systems to strengthen long‐

Flooding and a complex predator community drive American oystercatcher nest and chick survival in Virginia

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) as potential spreaders of Sarcocystis species

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundSarcocystis includes a global group of apicomplexan parasites with two-host life cycle frequently circulating in wildlife and domestic hosts, including humans. Two of the most important wild terrestrial carnivores acting as definitive hosts are

Preventing the next invasion: Lessons from aquaculture for the safe expansion of insect farming

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
We argue that preemptive risk assessments, species screening and transferable, adaptive regulatory frameworks developed for aquaculture offer a critical foundation for safeguarding against insect#x02010;driven invasions. Proactive governance that embeds these safeguards before large#x02010;scale expansion offers a rare opportunity to prevent invasion ...

Role of badger setts in life of other carnivores

open access: yesStudia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2015
A study of interspecific interactions of European (Meles meles) and Asian (M. leucurus) badgers with other carnivores at badger setts was carried out in Darwin Reserve (European part  of Russia) and in Ussuriisk Reserve (Russian Far East) in 2006-2011 ...

Unveiling Vertebrate Biodiversity in Arid and Semi‐Arid Terrestrial Ecosystems Through eDNA Metabarcoding at Savanna Waterholes

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Applying environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to samples from waterholes and their surroundings offers a promising approach for monitoring terrestrial vertebrates in semi‐arid and arid ecosystems, such as the southern African savannas. However, minimal guidance exists on key sampling design parameters for terrestrial ecosystems, which can ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of a bat-eared fox (Otocyon megalotis), along with phylogenetic considerations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The bat-eared fox, Otocyon megalotis, is the only member of its genus and is thought to occupy a basal position within the dog family. These factors can lead to challenges in complete mitochondrial reconstructions and accurate phylogenetic positioning.
