Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...

Can the mid-Holocene provide suitable models for rewilding the landscape in Britain? [PDF]
, 2009 Palaeoecologists have been encouraging us to think about the relevance of the Holocene fossil record for nature conservation for many years (e.g. Buckland 1993) but this information seems slow to filter through to the conservation community.

Half a Century of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Northern Gannet Eggs: Impact of Regulations
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are persistent organic pollutants that have been widely used in the industry across the globe for many decades. Their chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity pose major environmental and health risks. This study examines temporal trends in the concentrations of

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steroid‐mediated maternal effects are well‐studied as a source of phenotypic variation. In bird eggs, the yolk contains various steroids that can influence embryonic development. However, one complicating factor in understanding how yolk steroids affect development is that the embryo metabolizes yolk steroids to regulate exposure.
