Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

ABSTRACT A facile coprecipitation‐pyrolysis strategy was employed to fabricate Cu/Co nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in nitrogen‐doped carbon matrices (Cu/Co@N‐C) through the carbonization of CuCo‐MOF precursors. Moreover, monometallic counterparts of Cu@N‐C and Co@N‐C were also prepared via carbonization of bimetallic CuZn‐MOF and CoZn‐MOF, respectively.

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Although once abundant across its range, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are purportedly declining. While range maps indicate that gray fox potentially occur throughout the central United States, contemporary distribution maps are needed. We developed a Habitat Suitability Model for six states, leveraging gray fox presence data in an ensemble ...

Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,

This study investigates distribution patterns of Galliforms in the Indian Himalayas, focusing on factors influencing their occurrence, regions of high diversity and endemism, and their overlap with protected areas. Our study highlights the need for assemblage‐level conservation strategies in high Himalaya which primarily relies on snow leopard‐focused ...

动物常依据捕食风险强弱改变其行为策略,在警戒与采食及其它行为的时间分配上权衡,这一理论称为捕食风险的时间分配假说.该假说已在高原鼠兔等动物中得到验证,但对在中亚荒漠地区有代表性的啮齿动物大沙鼠(Rhombomys opimus)是否成立至今未被验证.通过行为观察,比较警戒与采食等行为在单位观察时间内总累积时间、单次行为持续时间以及活动频次之间的关系,验证大沙鼠行为规律是否符合捕食风险的行为时间分配假说.结果显示大沙鼠警戒行为的总累积时间与采食等其它行为间存在显著负相关(警戒与总地表活动:r =-0 ...
