Boldness Predicts Nest‐Site Choice of a Freshwater Turtle in an Anthropogenically Disturbed Landscape

Ethology, EarlyView.
One measure of antipredator behavioral boldness predicted turtle nest distance to the nearest human‐made structure. Turtles experienced two behavioral assays to quantify boldness (left panel). Turtles that displayed more bold behaviors during simulated predation nested closer to human‐made structures (top right) than their shyer counterparts (bottom ...

Flight Initiation Distance Varies With Proximity to Humans and Feeding Opportunity in Rock Hyraxes, Procavia capensis

Ethology, EarlyView.
Rock hyraxes (Procavia capensis) showed longer flight initiation distances in colonies further from human dwellings, and shorter distances when food was present. There was no evidence that the food effect differed among colonies. ABSTRACT Urban wildlife must persist in close proximity to humans.

GNSS navigation interference disrupts telemetry tracking of raptors migrating between Europe and Africa

Ibis, EarlyView.
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference in war conflict zones can disrupt wildlife tracking for research and conservation efforts. In 2023 and 2024, we tagged Black Kites Milvis migrans in Moldova and Kazakhstan, respectively, with telemetry loggers, tracked them until September 2025 and found that 20 out of the 24 Black Kites had ...

Dragonfly taxonomic and functional responses to urbanized streams in southeastern Europe, with management recommendations

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives turnover in dragonfly species composition, traits, and habitat conservation value. Natural stream sections have a higher conservation value (higher DBI) due to presence of specialists. Properly managed urban streams can support diverse dragonfly assemblages.

Roadside pollinator populations and the negative impact of intensive roadside vegetation maintenance

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Less intensively managed roadsides had higher numbers of flower flies and bees; bee diversity was also higher in those roadsides. Community composition was similar across both management types, indicating that roadsides support a fairly homogeneous pollinator community, regardless of management.

The effects of playbacks of anthropogenic noise on the anti‐predator behaviour of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes personatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental

Contestation Between the State, Oil and Fishers in Trinidad and Tobago: (Re)producing ‘Edge’ Populations on the Post‐Plantation Extraction Frontier

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Successive waves of extraction in the Caribbean—from plantation monocultures to oil and gas—have reshaped overlapping agrarian, coastal and marine environments, undermining the socio‐ecological foundations of small‐scale fisher livelihoods and generating ongoing conflict between the state, energy sector and fishing communities. Yet despite the

Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.
