Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

Livestock as insurance and social status. Evidence from reindeer herding in Norway [PDF]
The theory of livestock as a buffer stock predicts that agropastoralists facing substantial risks typically will use liquid assets, such as livestock, for self-insurance to smooth consumption.
