Use of species' responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Importance of connectivity for carnivore richness and occupancy in fragmented biodiversity hotspots. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Structural connectivity affects wildlife movement between habitat patches, contributing to the persistence of wildlife populations and their resilience to human‐induced and environmental changes. However, its importance to wildlife population persistence remains unclear, particularly in fragmented landscapes, where there are additional co ...

Using camera traps to enhance community-based management of subsistence hunting in the Amazon. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Community‐based management and monitoring of biodiversity has emerged as a cost‐effective strategy for providing credible data, informing decision‐making, and empowering local communities in resource governance and management. However, the establishment of community‐based management of subsistence hunting in the Brazilian Amazon has been ...

Tiny Patch, Big Value: A Small Dry Forest Patch Supports Wildlife Conservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

Forest Guardians: The Role of Dense Forests and Water Networks in Supporting Lowland Tapir (<i>Tapirus terrestris</i>) Populations in the Orinoquia Region of Colombia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study reveals that lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris ) occupancy in Colombia's Orinoquia region is strongly influenced by dense forests and proximity to water bodies, while anthropogenic factors such as pastures and road networks negatively impact their presence.

Community-informed and codesigned research to understand the impacts of railways on wildlife. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Trains cause mortalities of several animal species, but the ecological impacts of railways are understudied. Most research on wildlife–train collisions has focused on large mammals, but understanding railway‐specific risks for underrepresented taxa, especially vulnerable species, is important for developing effective mitigation strategies ...

Multi‐Species Canopy Latrines in Costa Rican Cloud Forests: A Mammal Interactions Hub in a Single Tree Species [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We documented arboreal, multi‐species mammal latrines in montane cloud forests of Costa Rica by surveying 169 trees across 29 species. Latrines were found exclusively on Ficus tuerckheimii, with 11 occurrences across two mountain ranges and an additional observation in Honduras.
