A trade‐off in vital rates for a large carnivore inhabiting an anthropogenic landscape and a protected island ecosystem

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic landscapes generally provide abundant human foods but increase mortality risk, which can alter vital rates for some species. Some species exhibit altered survival in anthropogenic landscapes, whereas others exhibit changes in reproduction.

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.
We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

Rapid scavenging of avian carcasses in the desert Southwest: Implications for mortality surveys not associated with infrastructure

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.
We placed 214 avian carcasses in a desert environment at locations not associated with infrastructure and monitored their removal by scavengers using camera traps. We found that 211 of the 214 carcasses were scavenged and median persistence time was 1.53 days. None of the predictor variables were informative of carcass persistence times.

Nest predators of sagebrush‐obligate songbirds in the Northern Great Basin

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin
A major cause of reproductive failure in songbirds is nest predation, yet the full suite of predator species and their relative contribution to nest predation are unknown for most species.

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model

open access: yesThe 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,

Neighbors to nature: A case study of recreation‐wildlife co‐existence in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We monitored medium to large mammal and human activity to assess impacts of recreation and inform management, deploying 27 trail cameras along multi‐use non‐motorized recreational trails for 2.5 years in a heavily used area within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA.

Immunohistochemistry of Parasitic Subepidermal Vesiculobullous Disease in American Badgers ( Taxidea Taxus ) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1994
Some populations of free-ranging American badgers (Taxidea taxus) develop a distinctive seasonal dermatitis due to the subcutaneous filariid Filaria taxideae. Subepidermal vesicles that contain filarial ova develop in thinly haired skin of the inguinal area, proximal thigh, and ventral abdomen.

Spatial–Temporal Patterns of Mammal Diversity and Abundance in Three Vegetation Types in a Semi-Arid Landscape in Southeastern Coahuila, Mexico

open access: yesDiversity
The grasslands and shrublands of northern and central Mexico cover nearly 25% of the country and harbor high biodiversity. However, they are increasingly degraded by agriculture, urbanization, infrastructure development, and water overexploitation.
