Leopards Exhibit Nuanced Predation Patterns but Rely on Wild Prey in a Human‐Dominated Agricultural Landscape in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Sri Lankan endemic subspecies of leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya) is facing intensifying human–leopard interactions in unprotected highlands, from where 107 scat samples indicated its wide‐ranging diet of 17 prey species, the black‐naped hare (Lepus nigricollis) being the favorite, while medium‐sized prey such as barking deer (Muntiacus malabaricus)

Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Excluding invasive mammals is key to protecting native biodiversity, but it is unclear if their removal also restores ecosystem functions, especially those provided by invertebrates, such as decomposition, pollination and herbivory. Fenced ecosanctuaries on mainland New Zealand, which exclude most introduced mammals except mice, offer a unique ...

Living on the Edge: Juvenile Foraging and Adult Breeding Ecology of an Aerial Top Predator in Urban Environments

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We analyzed a combination of GPS tracking data and nest‐monitoring data from an urban population of an opportunistic rodent specialist, the Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo), to analyze how raptors utilize urban landscapes. Buzzards occupied even extreme habitats such as residential areas for foraging and breeding and benefit from lucrative foraging ...

Systemic Effects of Vascular Photobiomodulation on Early Macrophage Recruitment During Skeletal Muscle Repair

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
Preventive vascular photobiomodulation accelerates macrophage recruitment and enhances pro‐regenerative inflammation after skeletal muscle injury, suggesting its potential to improve tissue repair through timely modulation of the immune response.ABSTRACTMuscle injuries involve a complex inflammatory response in which macrophages are essential for ...

Development of a Fully Automated, High‐Throughput Molecular Assay for Detection of Rat Hepatitis E Virus in Routine Diagnostics

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Recently, cases of human infection with rat hepatitis E virus (ratHEV, Rocahepevirus ratti) have been reported worldwide. Due to the significant genetic differences between ratHEV and human HEV genotypes 1–4 (Paslahepevirus balayani), current HEV diagnostic assays are unable to detect ratHEV.
