The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy)
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 82-90, March 2026.This is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.

Climate Change Challenges Grey Wolf Resilience: Insights From Dental Microwear
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigate dietary plasticity in European grey wolves across interglacial periods using dental microwear texture analysis. Enhanced durophagy is associated with warm climates in both modern Polish and British Pleistocene wolves, indicating deep‐time behavioural flexibility.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study assessed the accuracy of DNA metabarcoding using ITS2 and trnL markers to reconstruct sheep diets under controlled feeding trials with high‐ and low‐digestibility forage, and in a secondary trial with low‐level inclusions of Medicago sativa. ITS2 offered higher species‐level resolution, while trnL provided broader taxonomic coverage but less

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 Sika deer (Cervus Nippon) and wapiti (Cervus elaphus) are closely related species and their hybridization can result in significant allele-shift of their gene pool.

Red deer adult sex ratio: comparing three approaches using camera trap data
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.A naïve estimate of the adult sex ratio in red deer (Cervus elaphus) using raw camera trap data showed no bias when compared to more advanced statistical methods that account for detection probabilities or predict the sex of unknown sightings. Abstract European forests face severe challenges due to climate change, highlighting the importance of tree ...

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Lipoptena fortisetosa as a vector of Bartonella bacteria in Japanese sika deer (Cervus nippon)
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Two species of deer ked (Lipoptena cervi and L. mazamae) have been identified as vectors of Bartonella bacteria in cervids in Europe and the USA.

Bridging Ecology and Geosciences in Riverscapes: Implications for Process‐Based Restoration
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.In this paper, we synthesize studies that integrally examine geological and ecological processes across different scales and components of riverscapes, including geohydrological processes. Finally, we identify both scientific and practical challenges that must be addressed to bridge the gap between basic‐science implications and their implementation in

Adaptive Risk Management of Sika Deer
, 2021 We consider here a management policy for a sika deer (Cervus nippon) population on Hokkaido Island and Yakushima Island. Deer populations are characterized by a large intrinsic rate of population increase, no significant density effects on population growth before population crash, and a relatively simple life history.

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.
