The Importance of Individual Body Condition in Mammalian Behavioural Responses to Disturbance
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Body condition, shaped by the balance between energy demands and reserves, predictably shapes mammalian disturbance responses. Poor‐condition individuals adopt needs‐based strategies, accepting greater risks to meet immediate energetic needs, while good‐condition individuals follow asset‐protection strategies, minimizing risks to protect their survival

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

The Prevalence of Lead Fragments from Shotgun Slugs/Muzzleoader Bullets in Ground Venision Meant for Human Consumption [PDF]
, 2014 Recent studies have shown that lead shotgun slugs and muzzleloader bullets often fragment inside game animals. The majority of ammunition types used in firearms that are permitted by the State of Illinois for hunting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.

Influence of temperature, landscape, and fine‐scale forage availability on ungulate morphometrics
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Abiotic and biotic variables strongly influence morphological variation in wildlife, but there is disagreement on the relative importance of various factors. Primary competing hypotheses regarding drivers of interpopulation animal morphology include those related to heat regulation and those related to forage availability.

Unveiling the predator–prey spatial game using multiple habitat selection functions
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract There has been extensive work on the predator–prey spatial game, with a focus on how prey spatially respond to predators and how predators respond spatially to the distribution of various prey. Central to this work is the distinction between actual risk of predation relative to landscape availability and determining what prey perceive as risky

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Antler characteristics are influenced by a combination of genetics, age, and environmental factors, notably habitat quality and resource availability. In this study, we explored how diverse environmental factors, including climate and land cover composition, affect antler size, tine configuration, and the distribution of record‐scoring white‐tailed ...

Wild pig habitat use impacted by prescribed fire in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, USA
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Natural resource management activities like integrated wild pig control programs and 3–5‐year interval prescribed burning can reduce wild pig activity and habitat but can have an unintended side effect of allowing them to thrive in sensitive and protected areas, where access and tools are restricted.
