Excavation of an Arctic Fox, Alopex lagopus, den by a Polar Bear, Ursus maritimus [PDF]
, 2004 We observed a Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) excavating an Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus) den on 24 June 1998, 3 km inland from the Hudson Bay coast (58°40'N, 93°12'W), near Cape Churchill in Wapusk National Park, Manitoba.

Phylogeny Drives Carrion Consumption by Vertebrate Scavengers Towards Distantly Related Species
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.Carrion is a highly nutritious resource that plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, but may pose pathogen risks, particularly between phylogenetically close carcass‐scavenger pairs. Using camera traps, we assessed how phylogenetic distance influenced scavenging in a Mediterranean wetland.

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management
Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...

First recorded ice entrapment of a beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) in east Greenland
Polar ResearchBeluga whales are rare along the coast of east Greenland and the closest recognized stock occurs around Svalbard. Here we report on an ice entrapment of an adult beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) in north-east Greenland.

Arctic Science, 2020 The paucity of observations of wild polar bears (Ursus maritimus) caching of food (including hoarding, i.e., burying and remaining with a kill for up to a few days) has led to the conclusion that such behavior does not occur or is negligible in this ...

Avian influenza overview June–August 2026
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Between 5 June and 28 August 2026, 110 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus detections were reported in domestic (7) and wild (103) birds in 12 countries in Europe. The number of detections remained at a seasonal low throughout the summer, continuing the decline observed since spring.

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1298-1310, August 2026.We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

Virale Entdeckung in Gefangenschaft gehaltener Eisbären (Ursus maritimus)
, 2014 In 2010, two co-housed polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in the Wuppertal Zoological Garden exhibited seizures that led to the death of the female polar bear Jerka, 8 days later. The male polar bear Lars, survived after receiving medical treatment. Knut, the
