The Influence of Plant Species Composition on an Endangered Grassland Specialist Reptile, the Hungarian Meadow Viper

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study investigated how the horizontal structure and functional composition of grassland vegetation influence the occupancy and density of the highly endangered Hungarian meadow viper. Using plant community data and viper surveys from 59 quadrats, the best models showed that vipers prefer wetter meadows with fewer and shorter plant species, and a ...

Patterns of River Flow Regulation Across the World's Climate Regions

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
We quantify the Impoundment Ratio (IR) for 16 060 dams worldwide to assess how reservoir capacity relative to natural runoff varies across climate regions. One‐third of dams have IR ≥ 1, with the highest values in arid and semi‐arid zones and clear national contrasts within similar climates.

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,
