Comparing Transcriptomic Responses to Chemicals Across Six Species Using the EcoToxChip RNASeq Database

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...

Preliminary assessment of illegal hunting by communities adjacent to the northern Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe [PDF]

, 2011
Illegal hunting of wildlife is a major issue in today’s society, particularly in tropical ecosystems. In this study, a total of 114 local residents from eight villages located in four wards adjacent to the northern Gonarezhou National Park, south-eastern

Transformative changes of pastoral livestock production and its consequences on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Grassland functional zoning and spatial optimization scheme on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. Based on multifunctionality assessment, the scheme proposes allocating 32% of regional grassland as nature reserve grasslands (biodiversity focus), 63% as livestock grazing grasslands (smart ecological–production management), and 5% as cultivated grasslands (high‐

Risk-driven behaviour in the African leopard:how is leopard behaviour mediated by lion presence? [PDF]

, 2016
Agricultural expansion is restricting many carnivore species to smaller tracts of land, potentially forcing increased levels of overlap between competitors by constraining spatial partitioning.

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

The crossroads of tradition and modern technology: integrative approaches to studying carnivores in low density ecosystems

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The study of large carnivores in semi-arid ecosystems presents inherent challenges due to their low densities, extensive home ranges, and elusive nature. We explore the potential for the synthesis of traditional knowledge (i.e.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Landscape genetics reveal broad and fine‐scale population structure due to landscape features and climate history in the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) in North Dakota [PDF]

, 2018
Prehistoric climate and landscape features play large roles structuring wildlife populations. The amphibians of the northern Great Plains of North America present an opportunity to investigate how these factors affect colonization, migration, and current

Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules in domestic and wild animal species [PDF]

, 2016
Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules (HTBS), or "mucoperiosteal exostoses" (ME, syn.) are small, globular (>= 1 mm in diameter), mostly stalked and drumstick-like, bony structures, which arise from the inner wall of the tympanic bulla and project into the
