Gender dynamics of tropical wildmeat systems: A systematic map of women's roles and influence

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wildmeat is a vital natural resource globally, which must be managed sustainably to avoid livelihood insecurity, species decline and biodiversity loss. Women have a pivotal role in harvesting, processing and distributing wildmeat, yet their contributions are often overlooked.

Range extension of Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia (Laurenti, 1768) in Namibia

Namibian Journal of Environment, 2022
While Namibia has a high diversity of reptiles (Herrmann & Branch 2013), it is deficient in records for most reptile species, and several distributions are still poorly understood.

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Comparing camera traps and visual encounter surveys for monitoring small animals

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2021
Amphibian and reptile species face numerous threats including disease, habitat loss and degradation, invasive species, and global climate change. However, effective management and conservation of herpetofauna largely depends upon resource-intensive ...

Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

A Threat‐Scoring Framework Using Crowdsourced Data Indicates High Threat Levels in Fossorial Shieldtail Snakes

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Reliable estimates of species distributions are crucial for understanding their conservation needs. Yet for many species, IUCN largely relies on expert‐drawn ranges, which are often inaccurate. Focusing on shieldtail snakes in peninsular India, we combined citizen science, literature, field, and museum records to create improved distribution maps for ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.
