Partitioning the effects of habitat loss, hunting and climate change on the endangered Chacoan peccary

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Aim Land‐use change and overexploitation are major threats to biodiversity, and climate change will exert additional pressure in the 21st century. Although there are strong interactions between these threats, our understanding of the synergistic and compensatory effects on threatened species' range geography remains limited.

Testing the Effectiveness of Synthetic Chemical Lures to Increase Fruit Bat‐Mediated Seed Dispersal in a Tropical Forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
This study investigates the use of synthetic chemical lures to attract fruit‐eating bats and enhance seed dispersal in northeastern Costa Rica. The lures significantly increased the capture of Carollia spp., a key seed disperser, and boosted seed rain.

Scouts vs. usurpers: alternative foraging strategies facilitate coexistence between neotropical Cathartid vultures

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 4, Page 1368-1383, October 2024.
Understanding how diverse assemblages of scavengers can coexist on shared ecological resources is a fundamental challenge in community ecology. However, current approaches typically focus on behaviour at carcass provisioning sites, missing how important differences in movement behaviour and foraging strategies can facilitate sympatric species ...
