Habitat degradation and indiscriminate hunting differentially impact faunal communities in the Southeast Asian tropical biodiversity hotspot

Communications Biology, 2019
Habitat degradation and hunting have caused the widespread loss of larger vertebrate species (defaunation) from tropical biodiversity hotspots. However, these defaunation drivers impact vertebrate biodiversity in different ways and, therefore, require ...

Long unobserved and recently discovered: towards a better understanding of protected‐area species dynamics using curated species lists

Ecography, EarlyView.
Protected areas are designed to shield populations from harmful human impacts. However, in the face of global climate change, a static approach to conservation within these areas is neither feasible nor desirable. One key measure of ecological change at this scale is the arrival of new species and the local extinction of others. Despite strong interest

Threatened species richness along a Himalayan elevational gradient: quantifying the influences of human population density, range size, and geometric constraints

BMC Ecology, 2018
Background A crucial step in conserving biodiversity is to identify the distributions of threatened species and the factors associated with species threat status.

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

First Confirmed Cooperative Breeding of the Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni) in China at the Sino–Lao Frontier 中国中老边境尚勇保护区首次记录白喉犀鸟 (Anorrhinus austeni) 的合作繁殖行为

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
First confirmed breeding of the Brown Hornbill in China, documented through cooperative feeding in Shangyong Protected Area. ABSTRACT The Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni), a Near Threatened frugivore, reaches the northern edge of its distribution in southern Yunnan, China, yet breeding had not been previously documented with site‐attributed nests in

Impacts of Human Development on Wildlife Use of Corridors in Botswana 人类开发对博茨瓦纳野生动物廊道利用的影响

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study examined the effect of landscape‐scale human impact on wildlife in Botswana. We examined how species use wildlife corridors in two different human‐dominated landscapes. We identified differences in temporal overlap between wildlife and humans across both landscapes, which is fundamental to consider in both current and future conservation ...

Biodiversity Change in Cultural Landscapes—The Rural Hotspot Hypothesis

Ecology and Evolution
A dramatic decrease of biodiversity is currently questioning human‐environment interactions that have shaped ecosystems over thousands of years. In old cultural landscapes of Central and East European (CEE) countries, a vast species decline has been ...

Faunal biodiversity research in the Republic of Georgia: a short review of trends, gaps, and needs in the Caucasus biodiversity hotspot

Biologia, 2019
We evaluated progress towards animal biodiversity research in Georgia, a key area in the Caucasus biodiversity hotspot. By reviewing recently (1990–2018) published articles in all areas of animal diversity research, we unmasked the trends in biodiversity

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.
