Leopards Exhibit Nuanced Predation Patterns but Rely on Wild Prey in a Human‐Dominated Agricultural Landscape in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Sri Lankan endemic subspecies of leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya) is facing intensifying human–leopard interactions in unprotected highlands, from where 107 scat samples indicated its wide‐ranging diet of 17 prey species, the black‐naped hare (Lepus nigricollis) being the favorite, while medium‐sized prey such as barking deer (Muntiacus malabaricus)

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Where Dinner Roams: The Role of Feral Horses as a Resource Subsidy for Wolves and Cougars in West‐Central British Columbia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
In west‐central British Columbia, large populations of feral horses overlap with native species like caribou and predators such as wolves and cougars, potentially disrupting predator–prey dynamics. Between 2019 and 2025, researchers documented multiple instances of wolf and cougar predation on feral horses—the first such confirmed cases in the region ...

Light Paths and Dark Valleys: Topographic Complexity and Mammal Occupancy in a Semi‐Arid Mountain Landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Topographically complex mountainous regions are critical for biodiversity conservation, supporting high beta diversity, endemic species, and essential ecosystem services. Despite their importance, the fine‐scale effects of topographic metrics such as slope, ruggedness, and solar gain on mammal habitat use remain poorly understood.

Toward a unified understanding of people’s aversion to nature: biophobia

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 1, February 2026.
Human–nature relationships are often framed positively, but research rarely addresses biophobia, the aversion to nature. However, negative relationships with nature are likely to become more widespread following societal and environmental changes, with serious implications for public health and conservation efforts.

Perspectives on wildlife agency mange management in black bears and other carnivores

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wildlife professionals across 17 states shared insights on sarcoptic mange management in black bears and other carnivores. Findings reveal shared priorities for dispatching severely affected individuals, support for public reporting, and a desire for coordinated messaging, improved stakeholder engagement, and centralized data systems to strengthen long‐

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We estimated the potential ecological carrying capacity for the Mexican wolf based exclusively on ungulate prey biomass estimated from camera trap surveys. In the United States, the potential density estimate is high (21.4–52.7 wolves/1,000 km2) owing to the presence and relatively high densities of elk, mule deer, and white‐tailed deer.
