The Devil in the Detail: A Review of a Long‐Running Australian Predator Management Program
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We assessed the evidence base underpinning the prevailing narrative of a large and sustained reduction in fox abundance at Australia’s Booderee National Park. We identified a previously overlooked methodological change that has inflated the perceived ongoing suppression of fox abundance. Our work demonstrates how data biases can jeopardise the adaptive

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.In this study, ecological niche models are provided for Trachemys scripta and its competing species in Turkey. In 20‐year intervals, the map indicates the future habitat areas suitable for the invasive species as well as its competitors. The results of this study have led to a determination of the regions where invasive species are likely to be ...

WABAD: A world annotated bird acoustic dataset for passive acoustic monitoring
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers.

Assessing the context‐dependence of invasiveness in the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus)
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.Although the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) is widely considered fully invasive, our study on Gorgona Island shows its spread is largely confined to human‐altered habitats. Native common wall lizards (P. muralis) persist in natural areas, indicating that Italian wall lizard invasiveness is context‐dependent and mediated by human‐altered ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.
