Human Footprint Halves Tail Loss Rates in Geckos Worldwide
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Anthropogenic changes alter predator–prey systems worldwide. Defensive behaviour is shaped by the costs and benefits for individuals, and we hypothesise that tail shedding, as an escape strategy, has a higher cost for animals in human‐modified environments compared to natural landscapes. Therefore, our central objective was to evaluate the
