Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Multi‐Species Canopy Latrines in Costa Rican Cloud Forests: A Mammal Interactions Hub in a Single Tree Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We documented arboreal, multi‐species mammal latrines in montane cloud forests of Costa Rica by surveying 169 trees across 29 species. Latrines were found exclusively on Ficus tuerckheimii, with 11 occurrences across two mountain ranges and an additional observation in Honduras.

Forest Guardians: The Role of Dense Forests and Water Networks in Supporting Lowland Tapir (Tapirus terrestris) Populations in the Orinoquia Region of Colombia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Our study reveals that lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris ) occupancy in Colombia's Orinoquia region is strongly influenced by dense forests and proximity to water bodies, while anthropogenic factors such as pastures and road networks negatively impact their presence.

Sustained contraceptive‐level plasma concentrations of 4,4′‐dinitrocarbanilide in free‐ranging urban feral pigeons fed a custom bait Niveles plasmáticos altos y sostenidos de 4,4′‐dinitrocarbanilida en palomas domésticas libres alimentadas con un cebo anticonceptivo

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 4, December 2025.
We assessed the acceptability and consumption of a custom‐developed nicarbazin bait for feral pigeons, inferred its contraceptive efficacy, and evaluated the reversibility of its effects upon cessation of treatment. Only feral pigeons consumed the bait, except for one eared dove that also ingested the food. Continuous administration of this bait raised

Importance of connectivity for carnivore richness and occupancy in fragmented biodiversity hotspots

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Structural connectivity affects wildlife movement between habitat patches, contributing to the persistence of wildlife populations and their resilience to human‐induced and environmental changes. However, its importance to wildlife population persistence remains unclear, particularly in fragmented landscapes, where there are additional co ...

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an

Community‐informed and codesigned research to understand the impacts of railways on wildlife

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Trains cause mortalities of several animal species, but the ecological impacts of railways are understudied. Most research on wildlife–train collisions has focused on large mammals, but understanding railway‐specific risks for underrepresented taxa, especially vulnerable species, is important for developing effective mitigation strategies ...
