Mass harvested per trunkload as a constraint to forage consumption by the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana)
"The interesting feeding mode of African savannah elephants allows the authors to constrain forage consumption quantitatively. This will be of interest to those interested in elephants and in their important role in savannah ecology."
Clement Kent, Handling Editor
Beyond single-species models: leveraging multispecies forecasts to navigate the dynamics of ecological predictability
"Important for ecologists thinking about forecasting approaches."
Easton White, Handling Editor
Use of integrated population models for assessing density-dependence and juvenile survival in Northern Bobwhites (Colinus virginianus)
"The article uses a long-term dataset and novel analytical considerations to answer relevant questions."
Anthony Caravaggi, Handling Editor
Spatiotemporal prediction of alpine wetlands under multi-climate scenarios in the west of Sichuan, China
"It deals with the current topic of climate change and the problems of wetlands."

Buscando Luciérnagas: findings on Mexican fireflies from an 8-year virtual citizen science project
"The study by Dr. del-Val and colleagues has implications for both firefly conservation and the use the citizen science as a tool for studying and conserving biodiversity."
Joseph Gillespie, Handling Editor
Changes of Tamarix austromongolica forests with embankment dams along the Laizhou bay
"The article is important for understanding forest development and the impact of dams on this process."
Mykola Karabiniuk, Handling Editor
Tree regeneration and ontogenetic strategies of northern European hemiboreal forests: transitioning towards closer-to-nature forest management
"The paper shows how a study of tree ontogenetic stages can inform sustainable practices in forest ecology, and will appeal to scientists studying forests."
Shaw Badenhorst, Handling Editor
Negative effects of agricultural open-channel irrigation system on vertebrate populations in central Mexico
Fernanda Michalski, Handling Editor
Natural grazing by horses and cattle promotes bird diversity in a restored European alluvial grassland
"This article move its field forward using a robust dataset to answer interesting questions about the effects of grazer density, season and land cover on bird guilds in a restored conservation area."
