Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using cafeteria‐style bait trials and GPS telemetry, we investigated scale‐dependent responses of invasive raccoons to baiting in a post‐nuclear‐disaster agricultural landscape in Fukushima, Japan. Baiting induced strong short‐term and daily‐scale attraction to trap sites but did not restructure long‐term space use, highlighting the need to balance ...

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.

The Presence of Francisella tularensis in Danish Ixodes ricinus and Raccoon dogs
, 2023 Due to an increase in the Danish tick population, the interest in tick-borne pathogens has increased. The tick-borne pathogen Francisella tularensis is not proven to be present in Danish ticks. In this study, DNA from ticks and blood samples from raccoon

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 ...

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.

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

pylifemap: Mapping data onto the tree of life
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1696-1702, June 2026.Abstract The need to visualize data associated with NCBI Taxonomy Identifiers is growing in various biological fields ranging from comparative genomics to metagenomics and metabarcoding, and even for outreach. No tool today allows visualization of such data while still keeping the full vision of the whole taxonomy, possibly causing a biased view of the
