Networks of Indirect Contact Promote Spread of an Environmentally Transmitted Pathogen in a Highly Social Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using behavioral observations and network simulations, we evaluate direct and indirect transmission of the MTBC pathogen M. mungi in banded mongooses. Incorporating intergroup scent marking reveals that environmentally mediated, socially directed pathways can promote spread at low transmissibility, elevating population prevalence even when direct ...

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

Mammal Community Responses to Increasing Puma Activity in a Suburban Preserve

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using nine years of camera‐trap data from a suburban preserve, we found preliminary, convergent evidence that increasing puma activity coincided with changes in black‐tailed deer, bobcat and coyote activity. Evidence for changes in brush rabbit and grey fox activity, as well as woody plant density, is more tentative and warrants further study, but ...

Mating Attempts and Sustained Interest Behaviors of Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) Toward a Dead Conspecific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...
