Species Distribution Models Reveal the Resilience of Protected Areas for Conserving an Endemic Amazonian Canid

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the impacts of climate change on the distribution of the Amazon‐endemic canid Atelocynus microtis, highlighting projected habitat loss under future scenarios (SSP2–4.5 and SSP5–8.5). Despite substantial reductions in suitable habitat, a significant proportion remains within Protected Areas, emphasizing their critical

Weekend Overload: Day‐to‐Day Fluctuations of Outdoor Recreation Affect Wild Mammals' Space‐Use in a Popular Forest Reserve Near Florence, Italy

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

Changes in Site Occupancy of Marsh‐Breeding Frogs Are Associated With Surrounding Land Cover: Implications for Conservation Planning

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
To help ensure the growth and persistence of frog populations, we quantified changes in frog occurrence as a function of concurrent changes in land cover in the surrounding landscape of eight marsh‐breeding frog species, or groups of species. We used data from the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program delivered by Birds Canada at 377 sites across four ...

Human Recreation and Fire History Shape Landscape Connectivity for an Endangered Forest Carnivore

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Roads and trails can impede wildlife movement, but their permeability varies with human use and fire history. We combined GPS telemetry from 45 endangered southern Sierra Nevada fishers (Pekania pennanti) with smartphone‐derived human mobility data to estimate crossing probability across road and trail segments. Fishers were about 2.5 times more likely

Status of ash (Fraxinus spp.) in mixed hardwood post‐outbreak forests near the epicentre of the emerald ash borer invasion

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The persistence and health of ash populations were characterized in post‐outbreak forests near the epicentre of the emerald ash borer (EAB) invasion in North America. Regenerating ash remained abundant, but densities of understory ash were higher in wetlands (hydric), while ash remained at the seedling stage in riparian (mesic) and upland (xeric ...

Host desiccation and interspecific competition limit reproductive performance of a bark beetle

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
At high and moderate phloem moisture levels, Polygraphus proximus reproductive success was suppressed by sympatric species density. At low phloem moisture, P. proximus reproductive success was suppressed by the low phloem moisture regardless of the Cryphalus laricis hole density. Conspecific density (i.e., attack density of P.

Breathing in Plants and Chaos—Cosmic Tree Events in Cameroon and Beyond

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary practices of tapping into the wisdom of ancestral trees are described through three entangled recent events lived within the context of Bantu practices in Cameroon. In the three instances, the steered or chance encounters with high potency trees were serendipitous telling moments which brought something new to the horizon.
