Translocation of livestock‐raiding lions under specific conditions can mitigate conflict

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Human‐wildlife conflict is a pervasive threat that imperils many carnivore species worldwide, and although translocation is often used as a conflict mitigation strategy, it is widely regarded as ineffective. Here, we demonstrate that careful selection of suitable release sites can improve outcomes, as 80% of stock‐raiding lion translocations in ...

From research to conservation: Site selection for habitat restoration of a narrowly distributed and critically endangered butterfly

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study focuses on the conservation of a rare butterfly in northwestern Italy threatened by woody encroachment. Using field data, topography, and remote sensing, we modelled habitat suitability and connectivity. A 0.6‐ha site was selected for restoration, illustrating how predictive models can guide targeted conservation actions.

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Behavioural responses to radio‐tag attachment in butterflies: Evidence for active tag removal

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
During controlled indoor flight experiments with 89 butterflies from eight tropical species, we monitored behavioural responses to dorsally attached radio tags using high‐speed video recordings. Four of 39 Morpho helenor exhibited coordinated abdominal flexion and hind leg movements directed toward the tag antenna during flight; in two individuals this

Recompression Improves Release Success in Pollack (Pollachius pollachius): A Step Towards Assessing Post Release Mortality in a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recreational fishery for pollack (Pollachius pollachius) in the northeast Atlantic is impacted by the species' high sensitivity to barotrauma. When captured at depth and brought to the surface, gas expansion within the peritoneal cavity can cause a variety of injuries and hinder release.

Post‐Release Mortality of European Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Discarded From Small‐Scale Estuarine Fishing

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estuaries provide essential habitats for many fish species, but their confined and accessible nature may increase fish vulnerability to capture, and few empirical studies have quantified the value of restricting net fisheries in such areas.
