Testing the reliability of a camera‐trap based abundance proxy for assessing mountain ungulate populations

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
This paper provides practical and science‐based information for researchers, conservationists, and policymakers on estimating the abundance of mountain ungulates from an easy‐to‐use relative abundance index. Abstract Monitoring wildlife abundance is important for understanding species population status and trends and, thus, for informing conservation ...

Are we there yet? Reliable occupancy modeling from AI‐labeled trail camera data

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Even low false‐positive rates in AI‐labeled camera‐trap data can bias occupancy estimates, particularly for rare species. Our results show that false positive informed occupancy models can substantially improve inference, underscoring the need to evaluate AI classifiers according to the assumptions of downstream ecological analyses.

Inbreeding and Demographic History of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Western Canada Inferred From Genome‐Wide SNP Data

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Assessing genetic diversity is essential for conserving endangered populations, yet comprehensive genomic evaluations remain limited for many declining species. Here, we investigated inbreeding levels and effective population sizes (Ne) of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in western Canada, where populations have experienced pronounced declines ...

Denning Phenology Mediates Sea‐Ice Loss Impacts on Early Reproductive Success in Polar Bears

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Changes in overwinter sheltering phenology in response to climate change and their fitness consequences have rarely been studied. Here, we show that climate change has disrupted the phenology of overwinter maternity denning in polar bears, with females emerging from den earlier when sea‐ice had been scarce the preceding year.

Genomic forecasting for climate‐resilient fruit trees

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1640-1653, August 2026.
Genomic offset and required evolutionary changes under climatic shifts. Summary Fruit trees – long‐lived perennial crops cultivated for their edible fruits or nuts and frequently propagated clonally – are increasingly exposed to climate extremes that threaten their productivity and survival.
