Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Roe deer in Kiasar National Park and Wildlife Refuge, Iran; Photo by Hamed Tizrooyan. This study examined how seasonal, climatic, topographic, habitat, and sex variables influence fecal cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone metabolite concentrations in roe deer populations within Iran's Kiasar National Park and Wildlife Refuge through fecal sample ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using cafeteria‐style bait trials and GPS telemetry, we investigated scale‐dependent responses of invasive raccoons to baiting in a post‐nuclear‐disaster agricultural landscape in Fukushima, Japan. Baiting induced strong short‐term and daily‐scale attraction to trap sites but did not restructure long‐term space use, highlighting the need to balance ...

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.In this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

The King in the Crosshairs: Evidence of a Predation Attempt on European Bison by Wolves
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.To our knowledge, we present the first video‐recorded evidence of wolves attacking a European bison herd in the BPF. The European bison, often referred to as the king of the forest, is generally described as a non‐prey species, but historical data and our recent documented observation provide clear evidence that they can be subjected to wolf predation.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The population distribution and habitat selection of top predators are critically important for species conservation and habitat management. While previous studies have identified environmental characteristics and food resources as factors influencing animal habitat selection, the roles of potential intra‐ and interspecific competition have ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 5, Page 462-475, June 2026.ABSTRACT Chemical communication, typically based on feces, urine, and glandular secretions, often deposited as substrate scent marks, plays a key role in social organization and communication among many mammals, especially carnivores. This study assesses experimentally whether the type of substrate chosen for fecal deposition and the temperature ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Pest control is a global challenge for agriculture and biodiversity conservation, with the use of existing vertebrate pesticides increasingly constrained by regulatory, environmental, and social pressures. There is an urgent need for safer and more species‐selective toxicants, but the development of novel vertebrate pesticides remains technically ...
