Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2018 Descriptive anatomical studies of wild animals are fundamental, since they provide subsidies for the elaboration of more adequate techniques of sustained management, contributing to the preservation of species threatened with extinction. Thus, the aim

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

An evaluation of hunter surveys to monitor relative abundance of bobcats
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 We examined the utility of bobcat (Lynx rufus) detections by deer hunters in New Hampshire, USA, as an index of relative abundance. To validate the index, we compared the number of hunter outings that detected bobcats per 1,000 outings (hunting seasons ...

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 ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Dynamic occupancy models are fundamental for understanding complex species recolonisation processes, as they allow the assessment of both colonisation and persistence probabilities over time. Using a dynamic occupancy model and a large‐scale multi‐year dataset on wolf presence collected in the Italian alpine region between 2014 and 2020, we analysed ...
