Impacts of Human Development on Wildlife Use of Corridors in Botswana 人类开发对博茨瓦纳野生动物廊道利用的影响

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study examined the effect of landscape‐scale human impact on wildlife in Botswana. We examined how species use wildlife corridors in two different human‐dominated landscapes. We identified differences in temporal overlap between wildlife and humans across both landscapes, which is fundamental to consider in both current and future conservation ...

Are crop fields pharmacies for megaherbivores? From ecophysiological studies of elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) crop raiders in Gabon

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Damage to crops is a major cause of human–elephant conflict (HEC) in elephant range states. Elephant crop raiding drives farmers' resentment against elephants and reduces local community support for wildlife conservation.

Trade-offs between benefits and costs of forest proximity: farmers' practices and strategies regarding tree-crop integration and ecosystem disservices management

Ecology and Society, 2020
The impact of ecosystem disservices is among the issues that farmers have to consider in management of livelihoods and local landscapes. We investigated distinct practices developed within local communities in tree-crop integration and strategies to ...

Monitoring mercury across the National Wildlife Refuge System using a biosentinel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We measured mercury concentrations in 1,356 dragonfly larvae collected from 30 National Wildlife Refuges across the United States and found wide variability among refuges, spanning the full range reported for other protected lands. Using a management‐focused mercury impairment index, 80% of refuges contained sites classified as moderate or higher risk.

The niche variation hypothesis predicts hunting returns across human cultures

Oikos, EarlyView.
The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) proposes that a broader population niche arises from greater individual specialization. Despite decades of empirical testing, research remains constrained to non‐human foragers, and the generality of NVH may extend beyond wildlife. The analysis of > 8000 hunting records from 12 human societies across four continents
