Scientific Reports, 2020 Neotropical mammal diversity is currently threatened by several chronic human-induced pressures. We compiled 1,029 contemporary mammal assemblages surveyed across the Neotropics to quantify the continental-scale extent and intensity of defaunation and ...

The Intertwined Evolution and Development of Sutures and Cranial Morphology
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Phenotypic variation across mammals is extensive and reflects their ecological diversification into a remarkable range of habitats on every continent and in every ocean. The skull performs many functions to enable each species to thrive within its unique

Protected areas are now the last strongholds for many imperiled mammal species
Conservation Letters, 2020 The global network of terrestrial protected areas (PAs) has experienced a fourfold expansion since the 1970s. Yet, there is increasing debate around the role of the global PA estate in covering and sustaining threatened species, with serious ...

Low Susceptibility of Pigs against Experimental Infection with HPAI Virus H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 We found that nasal and alimentary experimental exposure of pigs to highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b was associated with marginal viral replication, without inducing any clinical manifestation or pathological changes.

Can Cognitive Ability Give Invasive Species the Means to Succeed? A Review of the Evidence
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Invasive species are a global conservation problem that have an enormous economic cost. Understanding the attributes of invasive species and what makes them successful at colonizing and flourishing in novel environments is therefore essential for ...

Intact but empty forests? Patterns of hunting-induced mammal defaunation in the tropics
PLoS Biology, 2019 Tropical forests are increasingly degraded by industrial logging, urbanization, agriculture, and infrastructure, with only 20% of the remaining area considered intact.

PHYLACINE 1.2: The Phylogenetic Atlas of Mammal Macroecology.
Ecology, 2018 Data needed for macroecological analyses are difficult to compile and often hidden away in supplementary material under non-standardized formats. Phylogenies, range data, and trait data often use conflicting taxonomies and require ad hoc decisions to ...

Projected losses of global mammal and bird ecological strategies
Nature Communications, 2019 Species, and their ecological strategies, are disappearing. Here we use species traits to quantify the current and projected future ecological strategy diversity for 15,484 land mammals and birds.
