Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Troublemaking carnivores: conflicts with humans in a diverse assemblage of large carnivores
Ecology and Society, 2017 Human-wildlife conflicts are a global conservation and management challenge. Multipredator systems present added complexity to the resolution of human-wildlife conflicts because mitigation strategies often are species-specific. Documenting the type and

Ecography, EarlyView.Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

Finding space for large carnivores
Nature Ecology &Evolution, 2017 To the Editor — The single most critical question to the conservation of large carnivores is where they are supposed to live. After a long history of persecution, large carnivores became isolated from humans and restricted to remote wilderness and ...

“Milking the lions”: An analysis of conservation performance payments in eastern and southern Africa
Conservation Science and PracticeConservation performance payments (CPPs) aim to encourage coexistence between humans and large carnivores by tying payments to species presence or abundance. While there is growing interest in the development of these programs, they remain the subject of
