Rethinking Spatial Prioritisation for Primate Conservation in an Unprotected Intact Forest Landscape in the Gulf of Guinea

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
This study highlights the importance of the unprotected Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area, Cameroon, for primate conservation in the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot. We modelled primate distribution patterns and found that historically overlooked parts of the landscape have high species richness and are critical for some threatened species.

Implications of the Tongue's Anatomy and Biomechanics for Breastfeeding

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The human tongue is a major player for breathing, swallowing, sucking, chewing and speech. Breastfeeding is the initial training for its subsequent tasks. Thus, we aimed to explore the tongue's anatomy and biomechanics with conclusions on breastfeeding, essential for healthy development.

From Loss to Transformation? Towards Pluralistic and Politicised Agrarian‐Climate Futures

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how actors perceive and anticipate future states of the world is gaining traction in climate change governance scholarship and related calls for sustainability transformations. However, smallholder farmers, indigenous groups, and local communities, who are expected to bear disproportionate burdens of loss and damage from climate ...

Trade-Offs of Conservation Fencing in Western Serengeti: Enhancing Agricultural Security While Navigating Unintended Consequences on Land-Use Dynamics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Fencing enhanced security in cropland livestock grazing land. Fence did not have a significant change in crop zonation patterns. While local communities are largely happy with the fence, fencing triggered land‐use conflicts and the resettlement of a few livestock keepers with large herds of livestock to nearby unfenced sites.

What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)
