Changes in the large carnivore community structure of the Judean Desert in connection to Holocene human settlement dynamics [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
AbstractInvestigating historical anthropogenic impacts on faunal communities is key to understanding present patterns of biodiversity and holds important implications for conservation biology. While several studies have demonstrated the human role in the extinction of large herbivores, effective methods to study human interference on large carnivores ...

Ecological dependencies make remote reef fish communities most vulnerable to coral loss

Nature Communications, 2021
Ecosystems face both local hazards, such as over-exploitation, and global hazards, such as climate change. Since the impact of local hazards attenuates with distance from humans, local extinction risk should decrease with remoteness, making faraway areas
