Anthropogenic disturbances simplify frugivory interactions in Amazonia

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Frugivory interactions are essential ecological processes for the regeneration of tropical forests, ensuring ecosystem resilience following disturbances. However, little is known about how frugivory interactions are shaped by anthropogenic disturbances, especially in Amazonia – one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth.

Trends in Market‐Based Blue Carbon Projects

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 3377-3402, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The integration of blue carbon (BC) into the voluntary carbon market promotes BC ecosystem management through financial incentives. We analysed 70 BC projects and present a comprehensive knowledge synthesis on a multifaceted BC sector and its contribution toward sustainable development. Currently, market‐based BC projects are located across 29

Highway Noise Worsens the Edge Effect on Bird Richness in Tropical Forests

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 5, May 2025.
Highway noise worsens the edge effect. ABSTRACT Anthropogenic noise represents a major threat to various taxonomic groups of fauna, especially birds, as they primarily use sound communication. Associated with the edge effect caused by highways, noise has a negative impact on birds.

Effects of manakin gut passage on germination of a neotropical melastome shrub (Melastomataceae)

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
In a paired germination experiment, we found that manakin gut passage accelerated germination of a common and widespread Melastome shrub, Miconia rubescens, which may function as an important pioneer in regenerating rainforest. Manakin species varied in their gut passage effects and within species, body mass correlated with greater and earlier ...

Three‐Dimensional Vascular Structure of Caudal and Dorsal Fins of a Dwarf Sperm Whale

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
This study examined the vascular architecture in the caudal and dorsal fins of a dwarf sperm whale through X‐ray computed tomography and gross dissection. The analysis provided the first confirmation of two distinct vascular systems in the fins of the family Kogiidae, indicating their presence across Odontoceti species.

Abstract The use of wildlife imagery in society is highly varied and could contribute to reinforcing national identity. Standard depictions of wildlife include photographs, video, artwork and symbols or icons, including on currency. We investigated the representation of native fauna on 4541 banknotes from 207 countries between 1980 and 2017, to ...

A typology of disintermediated giving and asking in the non‐profit sector

Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing, Volume 29, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Disintermediation is the ability to sell products and services directly to consumers without these having to pass or go through a ‘middleman’, such as travel agent or record company. With no product or service to sell to consumers, disintermediation in the non‐profit sector has been conceived as the giving of money directly to beneficiaries ...

Nest traits for the world's birds

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 206-214, February 2024.
Abstract Motivation A well‐constructed nest is a key element of successful reproduction in most species of birds, and nest morphology varies widely across the class. Macroecological and macroevolutionary studies tend to group nest design into a small number of discrete categories, often based on taxonomic inference.
