Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.We experimentally investigated the effects of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal defaunation on the removal and fate of seeds from economically important forest species in Amazonian forests. Our results show that mammal exclusion significantly reduced seed removal, although the magnitude of this effect varied among plant species.

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.

Fallen Logs Act as Natural Bridges Over Rivers in a Tropical Wet Forest
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.We studied how vertebrate species used logs as bridges over rivers in a tropical rainforest. Most mammals present in the area used logs, but the frequency and probability of crossing varied widely among species, between seasons, and in relation to the dimensions of the log and the river below.
