Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Refuges alter elk distribution: a case study of public and private land management strategies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wildlife managers have traditionally relied on hunting to manage elk Cervus canadensis population abundance; however, problems with elk over‐abundance and/or distributions have arisen across the western US as private landowners restrict public hunting and refuges are created.

Winter diet of Korean long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus: natural foraging and post‐wildfire supplementary feeding revealed by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Understanding the winter diets of endangered ungulates is critical for developing effective conservation strategies in temperate ecosystems, where seasonal fluctuations significantly affect food availability. The long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus, an herbivorous ungulate listed as a category I ‘Endangered species' (EN) under the Korean Wildlife ...

Impact of hunting modality on social contacts in wild boar populations across Europe

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study showcases how hunting disturbance influences social contact rates in a group‐living wild mammal. Along with other biotic and abiotic drivers, hunting modality plays a significant role in shaping intra‐group, but not inter‐group, contacts. Reduced group cohesion induced by drive hunts could negatively impact survival, foraging efficiency and ...
