Human disturbance compresses the spatiotemporal niche. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022
Human disturbance may fundamentally alter the way that species interact, a prospect that remains poorly understood. We investigated whether anthropogenic landscape modification increases or decreases co-occurrence—a prerequisite for species interactions—within wildlife communities.

Effects of Human Disturbance on Terrestrial Apex Predators

Diversity, 2021
The effects of human disturbance spread over virtually all ecosystems and ecological communities on Earth. In this review, we focus on the effects of human disturbance on terrestrial apex predators.

Human disturbance increases coronavirus prevalence in bats. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2023
Human land modification is a known driver of animal-to-human transmission of infectious agents (zoonotic spillover). Infection prevalence in the reservoir is a key predictor of spillover, but landscape-level associations between the intensity of land modification and infection rates in wildlife remain largely untested.

Reduced human disturbance increases diurnal activity in wolves, but not Eurasian lynx

Global Ecology and Conservation
Wildlife in the Anthropocene is increasingly spatially and temporally constrained by lethal and non-lethal human disturbance. For large carnivores with extensive space requirements, like wolves and Eurasian lynx, avoiding human disturbance in European ...

Human disturbance in riparian areas disrupts predator–prey interactions between grizzly bears and salmon [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Wildlife must increasingly balance trade‐offs between the need to access important foods and the mortality risks associated with human‐dominated landscapes.

Breeding success of little grebe, Tachybaptus ruficollis, at a wastewater treatment facility at Khon Kaen University, Thailand: The influence of human activity [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020
Wetlands are crucial nesting areas for the little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis). Our study was conducted at a wastewater treatment facility at Khon Kaen University in northeastern Thailand to determine whether human disturbance affected the breeding ...

Tillage-Induced Fragmentation of Large Soil Macroaggregates Increases Nitrogen Leaching in a Subtropical Karst Region

Land, 2022
Tillage leads to rapid loss of soil nitrogen (N) over a short period of time in karst areas. N leaching is the primary pathway of soil N loss and therefore is key to understanding the mechanisms of N loss induced by tillage.

Managers and shorebird biologists' perceptions of enforcement and voluntary compliance techniques to increase compliance with dog regulations on beaches

People and Nature, 2022
Disturbance to shorebirds by domestic dogs can cause direct and indirect bird mortality. Dog regulations to minimize disturbance are only effective if people comply with them.

Responses of Caribbean Mangroves to Quaternary Climatic, Eustatic, and Anthropogenic Drivers of Ecological Change: A Review

Plants, 2022
Mangroves are among the world’s most threatened ecosystems. Understanding how these ecosystems responded to past natural and anthropogenic drivers of ecological change is essential not only for understanding how extant mangroves have been shaped but also

Detecting and predicting forest degradation: A comparison of ground surveys and remote sensing in Tanzanian forests

Plants, People, Planet, 2021
Societal Impact Statement Large areas of tropical forest are degraded. While global tree cover is being mapped with increasing accuracy from space, much less is known about the quality of that tree cover.
