Deep Learning‐Based Monitoring of European Hamster Activity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We evaluated the use of a deep learning‐based object detection model (YOLO) to automate camera trap video analysis for monitoring the activity of the critically endangered European hamster (Cricetus cricetus). The AI‐based approach achieved high agreement with human assessments (F1‐score and accuracy of 0.93) and reliably detected temporal activity ...

Effects of wildfire on the distribution of mammals and birds in a working shrub‐steppe landscape

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The intensity, frequency, and extent of wildfire have increased drastically in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecoregion within Washington, USA, over the last few decades. Wildfire on this landscape, already modified and fragmented by agriculture and other disturbances, may challenge the persistence of wildlife that depend on continuous ...

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 &

Can't outrun recurrence: Long‐term outcomes of treating American black bear sarcoptic mange

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract The growing incidence of sarcoptic mange in American black bears (Ursus americanus) has become a concern for wildlife managers in the eastern United States. Inconsistency in the use of single and multi‐dose treatment approaches makes it difficult to evaluate their effects on post‐release outcomes of mange‐rehabilitated bears, which remain ...

Influence of Food Resource Availability on the Activity Time of Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Urban Parks in Tokyo

Ecology and Evolution
Urbanization results in the reduction and fragmentation of green spaces, which function as wildlife habitats. However, some wildlife has adapted to urbanization by changing their ecology and behaviors.

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

浣熊与貉的进化与生态趋同:欧洲入侵物种的完美风暴

Wildlife Letters
This 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 ...

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3051-3065, September 2026.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,
