Beyond the enclosure: a decade of monitoring reveals altered traits in a European ground squirrel colony with implications for a recovery program

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Effective integrated conservation programs critically depend on high‐quality animals from ex situ breeding, specifically those that are genetically diverse and physically healthy, yet insufficient scientific rigor in husbandry protocols can lead to unintended, detrimental consequences that compromise reintroduction success.

A Case Report on Rehabilitation of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) in the Wild 亚洲黑熊 (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) 野外放归野化案例报告

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Rising Tides, Falling Harvests: Examining the Effects of Salinity Intrusion on Paddy Production in Vietnam's Mekong Delta

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising sea levels and salinity intrusion increasingly threaten rice farming in Vietnam's Mekong Delta. Using a district‐level panel dataset from 2000 to 2020, this study examines the impacts of salinity on Winter–Spring rice yields and acreage and how farmers adapt to salinity risk.

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.
