Carnivore resource subsidies to support predator reintroductions and mitigate threats to reintroduced prey

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding of reintroduced carnivores is a tool that may increase translocation success and ease predation pressure on prey populations at critical times. In this study, we monitored the activity of native prey, and the activity and diet of a reintroduced predator, the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), around carcass feeding stations in an

Land cover attributes affect the distribution of rooting damage by wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated predictors of wild pig (Sus scrofa) rooting damage in mixed agricultural‐forested systems. While prior research has examined broad‐scale land cover predictors of rooting, our models additionally examined how season and fine‐scale land cover predictors can better aid management efforts in the early detection of expanding wild pig ...

Heavy Metal Contamination in Arenillas Ecological Reserve Soils: Correlation and Conservation Impact

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the critical knowledge gap regarding heavy metal contamination in the soils of the Arenillas Ecological Reserve (AERv), located on the southwest coast of Ecuador. Despite being a fragile and highly biodiverse ecosystem, little is known about the magnitude, spatial distribution, and drivers of heavy metal contamination in ...

Increasing acidification does not affect sexual reproduction of a solitary zooxanthellate coral transplanted at a carbon dioxide vent

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide is causing significant changes to the carbonate chemistry of the ocean, in a phenomenon called ocean acidification. The latter makes it potentially more difficult for marine calcifiers like corals, to build their calcium carbonate structures, thus affecting their ability to survive and reproduce ...
