Direct Interaction Between Roe Deer and Mountain Hare, a Case of Interference Encounter Competition?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Here, we report on a case of direct interaction between a roe deer doe and a mountain hare recorded by a camera trap in Tydal Municipality, Norway, suggestive of direct interference competition. The roe deer doe is following and displacing the mountain hare for at least 2 min and 29 s, including a 19 s active phase.

Facial Recognition Analyses Reveal Social Networks of Co‐Occurrence at Harbor Seal Haul‐Out Sites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.By implementing the use of a non‐invasive, facial recognition software, SealNet 2.0, we have provided evidence of strong site fidelity and persistent networks of co‐occurring individuals in a wild harbor seal population. SealNet 2.0 provides an open‐source tool for the estimation of ecological measures such as site fidelity and connectivity, habitat ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.
