Leopards Exhibit Nuanced Predation Patterns but Rely on Wild Prey in a Human‐Dominated Agricultural Landscape in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Sri Lankan endemic subspecies of leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya) is facing intensifying human–leopard interactions in unprotected highlands, from where 107 scat samples indicated its wide‐ranging diet of 17 prey species, the black‐naped hare (Lepus nigricollis) being the favorite, while medium‐sized prey such as barking deer (Muntiacus malabaricus)

Hibernation Shifts in Gut Microbiota Composition and Metabolic Function in the Chinese Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus sinicus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The composition and dynamics of gut microbial community structure in Rhinolophus sinicus, employing 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, are conducted to investigate the effects of physiological status (winter hibernation versus summer activity) on gut microbiota composition.

Defining Landscape Resistance Values in Least-Cost Connectivity Models for the Invasive Grey Squirrel: A Comparison of Approaches Using Expert-Opinion and Habitat Suitability Modelling [PDF]

, 2014
Least-cost models are widely used to study the functional connectivity of habitat within a varied landscape matrix. A critical step in the process is identifying resistance values for each land cover based upon the facilitating or impeding impact on ...

Indigenous Management Practices to Reduce Pests and Pathogens of Cash Crops in Agroforestry Systems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The crop with the highest damages was cocoa (63.9% plants affected by black pod disease), followed by Fusarium stem rot was the second highest damage in crops (30.0% of vanilla plants infected). Insecticides and fungicides do not have a significant impact in reducing pest and pathogen infestation.

Lysophosphatidylcholine concentrations and metabolism in aortic intima plus inner media: effect of nutritionally induced atherosclerosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1969
The concentration of lysophosphatidylcholine (monoacyl sn-glycerol 3-phosphorylcholine) in intima plus inner media of atherosclerotic aorta from squirrel monkeys was nearly eight times that in comparable control tissue. Plasma levels of the same compound

Prey capture and meat-eating by the wild colobus monkey _Rhinopithecus bieti_ in Yunnan, China [PDF]

, 2009
If it is true that extant primates evolved from an insectivorous ancestor, then primate entomophagy would be a primitive trait. Many taxa, however, have undergone a dietary shift from entomophagy to phytophagy, evolving a specialised gut and dentition ...

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Quantifying functionally equivalent species and ecological network dissimilarity with optimal transport distances

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 301-321, February 2026.
Abstract Quantifying the structure and dynamics of species interactions in ecological communities is fundamental to studying ecology and evolution. While there are numerous approaches to analysing ecological networks, there is not yet an approach that can (1) quantify dissimilarity in the global structure of ecological networks that range from ...
