Anurans or Mice: What is the Best Food Item for Young and Adults of Bothrops jararacussu (Lacerda, 1884) in Captivity? [PDF]

Zoo Biol
We use Bothrops jararacussu as a model to introduce three different prey items (mice, exotic anuran – bullfrog and native anurans) in captivity. Our experiments indicated that native anurans could be an interesting food alternative to B. jararacussu and other Bothrops species with an ontogenetic diet in captivity.

Potential distribution of endemic lizards from Brazilian restingas: The present announcing the end. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We evaluated the current and future potential distribution of the endemic lizards from Brazilian restingas and hypothesize that the ENMs will indicate alterations in the potential distribution of the restinga‐endemic lizards. Our models are robust enough to explain the suitable climatic zones for the occurrence of the studied species.

Noninvasive Methods Unveil the Trophic Transmission of the Tapeworm Ligula intestinalis in Gull-Billed Terns. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using both copromicroscopic (Mini‐FLOTAC) and molecular (qPCR) techniques, we detected and quantified the macroparasite Ligula intestinalis in Gull‐billed Terns for the first time. Phylogenetic analyses revealed genetic similarities among parasite isolates from birds (definitive hosts) and fish prey (intermediate hosts), suggesting local infection from

Effects of an Extreme Weather Event on Primate Populations. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives With contemporary, human‐induced climate change at a crisis point, extreme weather events (e.g., cyclones, heatwaves, floods) are becoming more frequent, intense, and difficult to predict. These events can wreak rapid and significant changes on ecosystems; thus, it is imperative to understand how wildlife communities respond to ...

Interspecies conflict, precarious reasoning, and the gull problem in the Gulf of Maine. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Contemporary conservation science requires mediating conflicts among nonhuman species, but the grounds for favoring one species over another can be unclear. We examined the premises through which wildlife managers picked sides in an interspecies conflict: seabird conservation in the Gulf of Maine (GOM).

O choque do antropoceno sobre as humanidades: investigando história e ecologia a partir de Bonneuil e Moore

Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente, 2020
Investiga-se no trabalho o impacto do acontecimento Antropoceno sobre as Humanidades e a divisão curricular que as separa das ciências naturais. A passagem da Época geológica do Holoceno para o Antropoceno anunciada pelos cientistas da Terra faz com que ...

Coexistence across space and time: Social‐ecological patterns within a decade of human‐coyote interactions in San Francisco

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 2158-2177, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Global change is increasing the frequency and severity of human‐wildlife interactions by pushing people and wildlife into increasingly resource‐limited shared spaces. To understand the dynamics of human‐wildlife interactions and what may constitute human‐wildlife coexistence in the Anthropocene, there is a critical need to explore the spatial,

O Antropoceno como narrativa: uma lente útil para entender o presente e imaginar o futuro?

Conserving the evolutionary history of birds

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract In the midst of the sixth mass extinction, limited resources are forcing conservationists to prioritize which species and places will receive conservation action. Evolutionary distinctiveness measures the isolation of a species on its phylogenetic tree.
