A Journey Between Science and the Arts: Templates for the Depiction of the Pineapple (Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries)

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native to America, the pineapple—Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.—delighted the Europeans who came across it. The fruit was mentioned by the voyagers and missionaries who observed and tasted it in the Americas and, from the 1500s onwards, infused reports, chronicles and natural history treatises with colour and flavour.

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Predicted genetic consequences of alternative population control strategies for North American plains bison in Yellowstone National Park

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Management of bison in Yellowstone National Park under the available strategies that maintained ≥3,500 individuals (1:1 sex ratio), removed <40% of the population at a time and prioritized relatives for removal were predicted to maintain genetic variation at levels consistent with long‐term conservation (>95% of existing variation).

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Using individual‐based modelling to anticipate future conflict potential for expanding European bison populations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Proactively developing and geographically targeting coexistence measures before conflicts become entrenched can improve megafauna restoration success. Our work demonstrates how integrating spatial conflict indicators into individual‐based models enables forward‐looking simulations of range expansion to guide such measures and to assess how they might ...

Individual Identification of Prey in Carnivore Scats

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Noninvasive genetic sampling is widely used in ecology and conservation to identify predators and their diets but recovering individual‐level information from consumed prey remains largely unexplored. We evaluated whether individual prey can be reliably genotyped from carnivore scats and assessed limitations associated with degraded and mixed ...
