Sloths host Anhanga virus‐related phleboviruses across large distances in time and space [PDF]
, 2019 Sloths are genetically and physiologically divergent mammals. Phleboviruses are major arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) causing disease in humans and other animals globally. Sloths host arboviruses, but virus detections are scarce.

Human Pressure Structures Range Contraction and Recovery Potential of the Snow Leopard
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We developed a spatially explicit framework to quantify how human pressure influences range dynamics in the snow leopard. Our results reveal a consistent spatial filtering effect, where human footprint shapes patterns of contraction, persistence, and recovery potential.

Loners Have It: Insights on Breeding and Non‐Breeding Individuals of Sloth Bears in Central India
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Dynamics of breeding biology, such as intraspecific sexual segregation, indicate avoidance of infanticide and/or reduced resource competition, which are reported for some bear species but are lacking for Sloth bears (Melursus ursinus). We found that mother bears with cubs segregate themselves from lone adults spatio‐temporally by avoiding resource‐rich

What is ‘relational thinking’, and how does it manifest in research?
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2941-2951, September 2026.Abstract People and Nature is a ‘journal of relational thinking’. This editorial explores what relational thinking can mean and how it might be operationalized in the context of humans and the environment. Relational thinking may seem intuitive because it recognizes the world's inherent interconnectedness. However, the question of how to operationalize
