Mammals with large home ranges, low reproductive rates and small body sizes are most vulnerable to roads: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3227-3239, December 2025.
Road mitigation for mammals should ideally be informed by site‐level knowledge and generally involve prioritizing species with the combination of larger home ranges, lower reproductive rates and smaller body sizes. To protect these vulnerable mammals from roads, we should maintain low road densities and instal small‐mesh mitigation fencing along roads.

Importance of connectivity for carnivore richness and occupancy in fragmented biodiversity hotspots

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Structural connectivity affects wildlife movement between habitat patches, contributing to the persistence of wildlife populations and their resilience to human‐induced and environmental changes. However, its importance to wildlife population persistence remains unclear, particularly in fragmented landscapes, where there are additional co ...

Precipitation and Temperature‐Dependent Locomotor Performance Drive the Abundance of a Neotropical Lizard

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
We investigated how climate and ecophysiology affect the demography of the lizard Tropidurus oreadicus in the Brazilian Cerrado. While lizards were more frequently captured in the dry season, their abundance peaked during the rainy season when their locomotor performance was highest.

Local and landscape features of urban fragments determine the occurrence of stingless bees As características locais e paisagísticas dos fragmentos urbanos determinam a ocorrência de uma espécie de abelhas sem ferrão

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1027-1036, November 2025.
Both local and landscape factors associated with habitat availability and quality determine the persistence of stingless bees across fragments. Places where the species occurs have local and landscape characteristics distinctive from those where it is absent.
