Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

Occurrence and distribution of sarcoptic mange in wild Neotropical canids

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Sarcoptic mange affects most Neotropical canid species across multiple countries. It represents a widespread yet largely overlooked conservation threat with potential for cross‐species transmission. Coordinated monitoring and management efforts are needed to understand and mitigate its impacts. Abstract Sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease caused

Infection with the Neorickettsial Organism Stellantchasmus falcatus Agent in an Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus)

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 1‐year‐old female‐intact arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) presented for diarrhea, lethargy, severe thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Blood film evaluation revealed intracytoplasmic coccoid bacteria within moderate numbers of leukocytes consistent with infection by a rickettsial organism.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Mechanisms of Body Alignment in a Diurnal Songbird Migrant

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 399-411, June 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the body alignment mechanism of a diurnal songbird migrant, the dunnock (Prunella modularis). Dunnocks consistently expressed an angular body alignment, with inter‐individual variation at the level of the population.

Local Angler Knowledge Reveals Declines in Fishing Quality for Black Bass in Lakes of Eastern Ontario

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 568-590, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge can be useful to assess data‐limited fisheries such as the Ontario Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) recreational fishery. We surveyed local anglers using the Life History Calendar approach to determine if there were perceived changes in fishing quality for Black Bass in eastern Ontario across different time periods. For

Estimating the Abundance of a Cryptic, Endangered Marsupial, Mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus) Using Microsatellite and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genotyping Panels

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We developed a species‐specific SNP panel for non‐invasive population monitoring of the mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus, Central Australian subspecies), an Australian macropod that is extinct in the wild, and conserved inside four predator‐free reserves and on one offshore island.

Contrasted habitat selection among Eurasian curlew populations according to landscape heterogeneity and breeding stage

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,
