The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

Mapping bat hunting, trade and consumption in Indonesia using records from online platforms
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Hunting, trade and consumption (exploitation) of bats for food, medicine or other uses is widespread and threatens many species worldwide. However, collecting exploitation data in the field is logistically challenging and resource‐intensive, resulting in gaps in our knowledge of the extent and intensity of exploitation in many areas.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Beavers reshape ecosystems in ways that benefit bat richness, activity and feeding activity. We linked increased habitat structures (standing deadwood and canopy heterogeneity) and prey abundance to higher bat activity. Our findings uncover how beavers drive biodiversity across aquatic‐terrestrial boundaries.

A perspective on bats (Chiroptera)
Koedoe, 2013 With over 130 species, bats are the most diverse group of mammals almost everywhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2000, two books (Monadjem et al. 2010; Taylor 2000) have made it much easier to appreciate this reality. Species previously unrecognised are frequent discoveries (e.g. Taylor et al. 2012).
