Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: A long‐term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic‐breeding kittiwakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 763-781, May 2026.
Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...

Large mammal recovery in the wake of human population decline

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Human depopulation, particularly in rural areas, has contributed to the recovery of some large mammal populations. While recovery is generally good news for conservation, it can also lead to human‐wildlife conflict. We present several avenues to maximize coexistence in the face of further rural depopulation in other places. Read the free Plain Language

From species lists to interactions: Network structure, not richness, guides seed dispersal management in human‐modified islands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings show that management strategies can create fundamentally different seed dispersal regimes, even under similar environmental conditions. Anthropogenic diversification reshapes network organisation into distinct structural configurations, rather than consistently enhancing overall cohesion.

Intercolony and Intra‐Annual Variations in Isotopic Niche of Red‐Footed Boobies Sula sula in the Tropical Indian Ocean

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
We compared the diet and assessed geographic and seasonal variations in the isotopic niches of red‐footed boobies across three Indian Ocean atolls. Our results demonstrate plasticity in both diet and trophic niche, likely driven by local environmental conditions, breeding stages, and colony‐specific factors.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1535-1555, May 2026.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.
