Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.Review on the outcomes of long‐term, individual‐based monitoring for bat conservation, focusing on data generated by automated passive integrated transponder monitoring. We show that this technique offers new possibilities for long‐term bat monitoring by facilitating the collection of highly relevant conservation data.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We investigated age‐related telomere dynamics in the tropical bat Molossus molossus using a long‐term mark‐recapture study of 492 individuals from Panama. We documented a female surviving to at least 13 years, more than doubling the previously reported maximum lifespan, while finding no consistent evidence of age‐related telomere shortening.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.We propose a statistical model to analyse the impact of tracer sample size and tracer loss on the representativeness of samples in tracer studies in gravel‐bed rivers. Abstract Tagged particles (painted, with inserted magnets, RFID labelled) used as tracers have often been deployed in field experiments focused on tracking the displacement of river ...

Traffic Flow Data Collection Methods During Wildfire Evacuation
Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 601-612, August/September 2026.ABSTRACT With climate change and urbanisation increasing wildfire risk in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), enhancing community evacuation preparedness is crucial. This study evaluates different data collection methods for measuring traffic flows during a community wildfire evacuation drill in Roxborough Park, Colorado, in June 2024.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 749-758, August 2026.ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Partner fidelity is a key component of reproductive strategies in socially monogamous species, yet its adaptive value remains context dependent and poorly understood outside environments with short breeding seasons. In most bird species, partners may remain together or re‐pair between successive nesting attempts, but it remains unclear which components
