Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Regulation of hyphal growth and sporulation of the insect pathogenic fungus Entomophthora thripidum in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Entomophthora thripidum is an obligate biotrophic insect pathogenic fungus that grows as protoplasts within the hemocoel of thrips. Prior to penetration through the insect cuticle and spore formation at the insect surface the protoplasts switch to hyphal

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Effect distances of road traffic noise on wildlife behaviour: A soundscape mapping approach using bird habitat selection

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Road traffic noise is a pervasive environmental pollutant that negatively affects wildlife globally. Despite growing research, quantifying the spatial extent of noise impacts remains underdeveloped. Soundscape mapping from social sciences and engineering literature offers a useful yet rarely implemented tool to depict noise impact distances ...
