Investigating Anthropogenic and Social Influences on Diet of Semi‐Urban Vervet Monkeys Using DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

Intraspecific Contact Among White‐Tailed Deer: A Literature Review and Chronic Wasting Disease Case Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We identified five themes underlying research on intraspecific contact among white‐tailed deer: physical touch, social groups, spatial overlap, contact rates, and social networks. We found white‐tailed deer infected with chronic wasting disease exhibited similar rates of intraspecific contact as those without infections.

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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Intrinsic and extrinsic drivers shape frugivore functional diversity within a tree population

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In sessile organisms like plants, interactions with strong fitness implications, such as seed dispersal, are influenced by individual traits and the surrounding environmental context. Recent studies have revealed that individual variation in plant populations shapes mutualistic interactions, but the focus often remains on the taxonomic ...

Assessing the Role of Chronic Stress in Aging Among Individuals Experiencing Homelessness: A Pilot Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims To investigate the relationship between chronic stress and telomere shortening among individuals experiencing homelessness compared to those in stable housing. Methods This pilot study analyzed a nested sample of 13 participants (8 males, 5 females) from a larger cohort of 90 individuals (65 unhoused, 25 housed ...
