Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Our findings regarding prey of breeding Cooper's Hawks in British Columbia and Wisconsin expand knowledge of their food habits and support the premise that seasonal agility of prey influences body size of nesting males. We deem it untenable to assume greater production of young at urban vs. rural nests based on proportion of avian prey use.
