Life‐history traits and phylogeny structure taxon‐specific species–substrate relationships in deadwood

Oikos, EarlyView.
To understand the structuring of species assemblages, integrating life‐history traits and evolutionary heritage in analyses is vital. This allows the assessment of a mechanistic link between species and their environment. Deadwood systems are vital for nutrient cycling and biodiversity support, governed by complex intra‐ and inter‐specific fungal and ...

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

Spatio‐temporal patterns, associated factors and mitigation of tiger and leopard attacks on people in western Himalayas

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores becomes extremely difficult in areas where there are large number of attacks on humans. An understanding of the factors that explain the spatio‐temporal context of such attacks would guide policy and management to mitigate conflict, conserve carnivores and assist coexistence.
