An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species. [PDF]
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center. [PDF]
Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

In Vitro Antiproliferative Activity of Fucoidans Extracted From <i>Sargassum natans</i> and <i>Sargassum fluitans</i> in the HeLa Cell Line. [PDF]
This paper presents an analysis of the polyphenol content, antioxidant capacity, and antiproliferative activity of fucoidans extracted from Sargassum natans and Sargassum fluitans. The results obtained indicated a high total polyphenol content (113 ± 2.3 mg GAE/g), which is probably associated with great antioxidant capacity.

Socioeconomic drivers of wild meat consumption in the city of Iquitos, Peru. [PDF]
Abstract Wild meat represents a vital source of micro‐ and macronutrients for forest‐dwelling people; however, city dwellers with access to animal protein from different animals may also consume large amounts of wild meat as part of their customs and traditions, to diversify their diets, to maintain connections to their rural kin, and to access meat ...
