Eyespots in Automeris Moths Mimic Sympatric Owl Species (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Eyespot mimicry is a common anti‐predator strategy in moths, yet the mechanism underlying its effectiveness in Automeris remains unresolved. Using species distribution models, convolutional neural networks, and saliency mapping, we show that Automeris eyespots are visually confusable with sympatric owl eyes and that this similarity is concentrated in ...

Relational structure of illegal wildlife hunting in China: A nationwide hunter–prey network analysis

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2815-2827, August 2026.
Abstract Illegal wildlife hunting continues to pose a major biodiversity threat in China, yet there remains no systemic relational understanding of the way in which perpetrators are linked to key taxa. To address this, here we provide a novel framework for understanding and addressing the systemic roots of wildlife crime.

Case report and prey analysis of ground-nesting eagle owls (Bubo bubo) in Slovakia

Raptor Journal
In current ornithological literature, there is a general consensus that the eagle owl (Bubo bubo) is a breeder of rocky habitats in Slovakia, especially on cliffs and quarry walls, but little research to date has concentrated on cases of ground-nesting ...

The Case of the Missing Green Iguana Predators: Reviews of Ecological Literature Should Go Beyond Google Scholar

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 107, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.

How much sampling is enough? Four decades of understorey bird mist‐netting across Amazonia define the minimum effort to uncover species assemblage structure

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 571-587, April 2026.
Mist‐net sampling comprises a key methodological component of assemblage‐wide avifaunal studies, particularly in the understorey of closed‐canopy tropical forests. To investigate mist‐net bird captures and species assemblage structure, we compiled data from 312 sites across the Pan‐Amazon.
