Ecotoxicological Assessment of Mercury in Fish From a Gold‐Mining‐Impacted Amazonian River: Biomonitoring and Human Health Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

The winter 2023/2024 floods in the UK: a hydrological appraisal

Weather, EarlyView.
From October 2023 to March 2024, the UK saw a succession of named storms and low‐pressure weather systems, leading to widespread exceptional river flows throughout. Peak flow records were broken in several catchments, but this event was most notable for its duration and spatial footprint, which resulted in major impacts.

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Context‐Dependent Effects of Beavers (Castor spp.) on Freshwater Pearl Mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European Rivers 河狸对欧洲河流中的淡水珍珠贝 (Margaritifera margaritifera) 存在情境依赖性影响

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
The study explores how beavers (Castor spp.) affect endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European rivers. Beaver dams can harm small, fragmented mussel populations by reducing flow, increasing sediment, and potentially limiting host fish movement, while larger populations may benefit from improved bed stability and ...

Updates on Breeding Success and Conservation Challenges for White‐Rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) in Rampur Valley, Nepal 尼泊尔兰普尔山谷白腰兀鹫繁殖成功研究进展及其保护挑战

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates the breeding success of the critically endangered White‐rumped Vulture in Khaireni Community Forest, and examines local knowledge and perceptions toward its conservation. We found that 71% of active nests were successful, with breeding success significantly influenced by the proximity to carcass deposition sites.
