Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.

Long‐term management of extensive plastron thermal burn with surgical debridement and negative pressure wound therapy in an African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract An adult, male African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata) was presented for evaluation of severe thermal burns of the plastron, approximately 5 months after an enclosure fire. On presentation, limbs were ulcerated, and the plastron was soft to touch with necrotic tissue and purulent discharge.

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1311-1325, August 2026.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Searching for the beasts in the archive as methodological praxis

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
This article offers searching for the beasts in the archive as a methodological tool available to researchers invested in both anticolonialism and antianthropocentrism. By focusing on three basic units of reference—categories, histories, and borders—the article shows how searching for the beasts unsettles some taken‐for‐granted assumptions that ...

Inference on state occupancy in covariate‐driven hidden Markov models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2436-2448, August 2026.
Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are natural and popular tools for analysing animal behaviour based on movement, acceleration and other sensor data. In particular, these models make it possible to infer how the animal's decision‐making process interacts with internal and external drivers by relating the probabilities of switching between distinct ...

Burrow Persistence and Spatial Distribution of Federally and State‐Protected Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Populations in Southwest Alabama

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 379-392, August 2026.
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Analysing the Ecological Requirements of the Australian Tortoise Beetle Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn, 1897) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Determine the Prospects for Its Invasion Process

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 955-967, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.
