Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Due to global climate change, wintering conditions of open water‐dependent waterbirds have become milder in central‐western Europe. We found that breeding populations of most waterbird species in northern Europe are resistant to cold winters, and this pattern was not associated with long‐term population trends. Results suggest that breeding populations

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.In this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The population distribution and habitat selection of top predators are critically important for species conservation and habitat management. While previous studies have identified environmental characteristics and food resources as factors influencing animal habitat selection, the roles of potential intra‐ and interspecific competition have ...

Distribution and genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in raccoon dogs in Korea
Parasites, Hosts and Diseases<i>Enterocytozoon</i> is a genus of microsporidian parasites, with <i>Enterocytozoon bieneusi</i> being a well-known species. It infects various mammalian hosts, including humans, and exhibits zoonotic potential. Out of the 97 fecal and intestinal samples collected from wild raccoon dogs in Korea, 12 (12.4%) tested positive for &

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.

Revisiting the predation paradox for the Wood Thrush, a declining Neotropical migrant
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Despite an increased density of mid‐trophic level predators in urban and suburban areas compared to rural areas, the survival of smaller prey animals, including the eggs and chicks of nesting songbirds, often remains relatively high in these areas.

Wildlife LettersThis paper initially describes the evolution of body shape in the raccoon (Procyon lotor) and the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides). I explain how their similarities are the result of convergent evolution, the process by which unrelated organisms ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.Full‐length 16S and 18S rRNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing of large intestine contents from 30 healthy European brown hares revealed broad gut microbiome diversity. An 80% identity threshold detected substantially greater taxonomic richness than 95%, emphasizing the value of long‐read sequencing in wildlife microbiome research. ABSTRACT The European brown
