Cascading Effects of Overhunting on the Functional Tree Composition of Amazonian Forests
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We examined how overhunting‐induced defaunation affects the functional composition of tropical tree communities in western Brazilian Amazonia. Using a robust, spatially replicated dataset from 30 forest plots across a well‐defined gradient of hunting pressure, we assessed the impacts of vertebrate depletion on plant recruitment patterns, dispersal ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Social media videos highlight the impacts of the illegal use of snares on Brazilian biodiversity
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2811-2820, November 2025.Abstract Snares are one of the most used types of non‐selective traps for hunting worldwide, though their use is prohibited in many countries, including Brazil. Indiscriminate and unmonitored use of snares can induce serious conservation problems, particularly in megadiverse countries where higher species richness and diversity mean that the ...
