Global distribution and contexts of interactions between humans and non‐human primates: A systematic review

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.

Ethnobotanical insights into the medicinal and food uses of Lamiaceae in the Mediterranean region: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
For generations, Mediterranean communities have used Lamiaceae or Labiatae plants like rosemary, thyme or mint to care for their health and to enrich their food. By bringing together dispersed knowledge from across the Mediterranean region, our review revealed the continuing relevance of Lamiaceae while also compiling past uses that may hold future ...

Conservation status of species used in the UK herbal medicine industry

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Given the ongoing biodiversity crisis, sustainable use and management of medicinal plants is critical. We assessed the conservation status, threats and conservation actions of 298 species sold by UK suppliers to medical herbalists. We found that most species used are unevaluated, representing a gap in conservation knowledge, and of those with ...

HOWLish: a CNN for automated wolf howl detection

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Automated detection of wolf howls presents a great opportunity for large‐scale passive acoustic monitoring of wolf populations. Here we present HOWLish, a CNN trained for automated wolf howl detection, based on thousands of hours of soundscapes recorded in the wild.

Tourist sightings improve the precision of camera trap‐derived density estimates using spatial capture‐recapture models

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine tourist‐contributed images with camera trap‐based monitoring data to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population densities using multi‐session spatial capture–recapture models. We show that incorporating tourist observations improves precision and yields an overall density estimate of 7.02 leopards per 100 km2, while ...
