Specifically, carnivores often exert top-down regulatory control on ecological communities, and the loss of apex predators can lead to profound changes in community composition and ecosystem function. Thus, carnivore reintroduction (trophic rewilding) has gained prominence as a strategy to restore ecological balance. However, the success of such efforts is contingent upon the availability of a sufficient prey base capable of supporting growing carnivore populations, underscoring the significance of bottom-up regulatory processes. Furthermore, species composition and assemblage patterns are strongly influenced by environmental variables and landscape characteristics. In this study, we examined the mammalian community of Panna Tiger Reserve (PTR) to evaluate the relative roles of top-down and bottom-up regulation in shaping mammalian assemblages. We utilized camera trap data from two seasons (2019) and constructed hypothesis-driven interaction pathways representing both regulatory processes within a piecewise structural equation modeling (SEM) framework. The results demonstrated that both top-down (carnivore-driven) and bottom-up (prey-driven) mechanisms significantly influence community structure. Additionally, environmental factors and habitat features were found to be critical drivers affecting the spatial distribution of both predators and prey. Importantly, our findings highlight the dominant influence of top-down effects in species community, however, bottom-up regulation in facilitating the successful reintroduction and population recovery of tigers in PTR, despite the presence of a high density of co-predators. This underscores the essential role of prey abundance and habitat quality in supporting large carnivore conservation. Overall, this study provides key insights into trophic rewilding and emphasizes the importance of maintaining intact habitats, conserving prey populations, and promoting coexistence within multi-species communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54264,"journal":{"name":"Global Ecology and Conservation","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article e04145"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147388034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The preservation of Europe’s remaining OGFs is therefore essential and as such addressed in the European Union’s (EU’s) biodiversity strategy 2030. In order to strictly protect all remaining EU primary and OGFs, their locations and extent need to be mapped. Remote sensing (RS) offers the possibility to assess extensive and remote areas. This study evaluates the use of Sentinel-2 satellite images and airborne laser scanning (ALS) data for the assessment of dominant stand age and development classes for beech forests in four test sites located in three different biogeographical regions across Europe. We use up to 150 spectral, textural and height features as input to a random forest (RF) regression. Elevation consistently ranks among the top eight most important features, showing the highest importance in mountainous regions and the lowest in predominantly flat terrain. Texture, on the other hand, varies in importance across the sites and appears to be inversely related to elevation, with higher importance values observed in flat areas. Regarding spectral indices, the Normalized Difference Red Edge (NDRE1) emerges as a significant feature across most sites. Near and short-wave infrared and the third red-edge band are important individual features in several sites. Training data is derived from existing age maps. Validation is done using 512 independent field measurement plots. The results show overall accuracies (OA) for five structural development classes between 53 and 81 % for Sentinel-2 data only. Where available, ALS data increases the OA by about 6 %. When considering only two classes (OGF vs. non-OGF), the OA is between 59 % for Bulgaria with Sentinel-2 data only and 94 % for Belgium, when including ALS. Our approach is constrained by the potential unavailability of high-quality reference data for various biogeographical regions, as well as the limited accessibility of LiDAR data. The comparison with existing global RS-based maps evidently shows many more details and higher accuracy of our products. In comparison with a European map of existing primary forests, we see overall congruence, but also differences: our approach spots similar spectral and structural characteristics in areas outside the known primary or old-growth forests. RS can thus provide valuable spatial insights into potential OGF locations to better target field visits and facilitate the faster identification of currently unprotected OGFs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54898,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Nature Conservation","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 127202"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145941046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, pressure from their predators remains a critical factor constraining their survival rates during stocking in marine ranching. To study the effect of fear from predator, the physiological responses of <em>S. monotuberculatus</em> to different risk cues were evaluated: cues from crab <em>Portunus pelagicus</em> group (PPG), same-species injury group (SSIG), and different-species injury group (DSIG). Results showed under PPG treatment, oxygen consumption initially decreased but surged upon repeated exposure, indicating an adjustment to acute stress. Injury cues from sea cucumbers (conspecific, SSIG and heterospecific, DSIG) resulted in metabolic peaks at 6 h and 12 h respectively. At the 6 h time point, DSIG elicited higher ammonia excretion and a markedly elevated O:N ratio, reflecting a major shift in metabolic pathways toward non-protein energy substrates. Under exposure to PPG, ATP levels surged 20-fold at 1 h, reaching 14,353.81 ± 1308.36 μmol·gprot⁻¹. Meanwhile, the activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and hexokinase (HK) significantly increased, while pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity decreased, which indicated that anaerobic metabolism dominates during acute stress from predator crab. Under DSIG treatment, PDH and HK activities first increased and then decreased, accompanied by slower ATP recovery than PPG treatment, which reflects the adjustment of aerobic metabolism in response to heterospecific injury cues. This study reveals that <em>S. monotuberculatus</em> dynamically modulates its metabolic physiology in response to varying predation risks, employing acute anaerobic responses under crab threats and shifting toward aerobic metabolic reorganization under heterospecific injury cues. These findings enhance our understanding of how juvenile sea cucumbers adjusted physiologically to predation pressure, providing a theoretical basis for development of predator stress modification strategies for its bottom sowing and stock enhancement practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10602,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology C-toxicology & Pharmacology","volume":"304 ","pages":"Article 110491"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146218965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effectively controlling localized community transmission within endemic areas through vaccination can reduce the likelihood of broader regional or even global outbreaks. Large-scale community vaccination in DRC is challenged by limited resources, including vaccine availability during early outbreaks in remote areas, whereas limited surveillance, contact tracing, and accessibility to remote locations can reduce the effectiveness of targeted ring vaccination. Furthermore, recent outbreaks in DRC have been driven by both sexual and non-sexual close contact transmissions. Here, we used an agent-based model with stochastic transmission within and between households to assess the effectiveness of ring vaccination for controlling localized community transmission in the presence of incomplete case reporting and delay in vaccination. We consider both nonsexual close contact and sexual transmission. We found that ring vaccination, even with 25–50 % reporting, is effective in reducing outbreak cluster sizes and the likelihood of large cluster sizes (&gt;5 cases), particularly when implemented shortly after detection of initial cases. The effectiveness of ring vaccination reduces with the inclusion of sexual transmission. We show that outbreak size and the likelihood of large clusters are reduced when responding to every reported infection, even with 2–3 weeks of delay. Settings with strong surveillance systems characterized by high levels of reporting will have earlier case detection, enabling earlier response and improving the effectiveness of ring vaccination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48593,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Risk Analysis","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100363"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145883990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pronounced oxidative stress, suppression of pigment synthesis, changes in morphology, dose-dependent inhibition of photosynthetic activity (EC₅₀ = 18.3 μg L⁻¹), and a sharp restructuring of the community in favor of picoeukaryotes (up to 90–98% at 20 μg L⁻¹) were observed.
