Clarifying space use concepts in ecology: Range vs. occurrence distributions
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Quantifying animal movements is necessary for answering a wide array of research questions in ecology and conservation biology. Consequently, ecologists have made considerable efforts to identify the best way to estimate an animal's home range, and many methods of estimating home ranges have arisen over the past half a century.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Mesocarnivores navigate a complex risk–reward continuum in ecosystems shared with their apex counterparts, balancing scavenging opportunities with risks of mortality. However, the risks to mesocarnivores in multi‐carnivore systems are not uniform; they can vary with specific apex–meso pairings.

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 582-597, March 2026.Abstract A keystone species is one whose influence is disproportionate to its abundance, the absence of which would change the dynamics of an ecological or human community. Despite its widespread use in the scientific literature, there is a limited understanding of how the keystone concept is defined or measured, or applied in practice, and especially ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.Long‐term (1976–2015) field sign monitoring of brown bears in northern Hokkaido, Japan, yielded 2421 records (feeding signs, tracks, scats) along 9890 km of survey routes. The digitized spatiotemporal dataset provides insights into population dynamics, habitat use, and feeding behavior across a major wildlife management policy shift.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Future‐Proofing Natura 2000 Through a Biocultural Approach
Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT The Natura 2000 sites of the European Union form the largest protected area network globally and are widely considered a conservation success. However, many Natura 2000 sites are not in a favorable conservation status, and support by policy and society has often been low.

Scat DNA Applications for Low‐Density Carnivore Survey: Techniques, Efficiency and Future Directions
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We reviewed 338 studies encompassing mostly Felidae, Canidae and Mustelidae species throughout the world, confirming scat DNA as a reliable genetic source for many applications. The findings here offer guidance for future studies on low‐density carnivores, helping to design cost‐effective research and improving data quality for conservation efforts ...

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.
