Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Biological conservation at risk in Slovakia: Brown bears under attack of autocratic pressures
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Recent governance changes in Slovakia have allowed extensive brown bear removals while reducing expert involvement. These developments raise concerns about long‐term management and consistency with EU conservation standards. The case underscores how political context affects conservation outcomes.
