Assessing the Minimum Sampling Effort Required to Reliably Monitor Wild Meat Trade in Urban Markets

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The trade of wild meat generates great economic returns for local communities but at a cost of increasing harvest rates of game species. Monitoring wild meat trade in urban markets is a low-cost method that can be employed to assess impacts of hunting on

Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

FAUNA EDÁFICA SOB DIFERENTES SISTEMAS DE MANEJO DO SOLO PARA PRODUÇÃO DE CUCURBITÁCEAS

Scientia Agraria, 2017
O objetivo foi avaliar a influência dos tipos de uso e manejo do solo sobre a fauna edáfica em diferentes épocas do ano. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso com parcelas subdivididas, em três repetições, sendo instaladas duas armadilhas por subparcela, totalizando 36 armadilhas.

Filtered, yet not homogenised: Urbanisation does not lead to cross‐city convergence in Mexican urban bird communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanisation simplifies bird communities, but does not necessarily make urban avifaunas alike. Across three biogeographically distinct Mexican cities, urban bird assemblages remained regionally distinct despite strong local filtering. These results challenge assumptions of urban‐driven homogenisation and emphasise the dominant role of regional species ...

Understanding Mammalian Habitat Use With a Multi‐Species, Multi‐Scale Approach: The Jaguar Protection Corridor in Guaviare, Colombia

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

Balancing Fire Regimes and Population Dynamics for the Conservation of a Microendemic Lizard From a Biodiversity Hotspot

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Disturbance from fire mediates a potential ecophysiological trade‐off between adult performance and juvenile recruitment in the microendemic lizard Ameivula jalapensis. While open, burned habitats enhance adult thermoregulation and condition, unburned patches remain critical for juvenile thermal optima.
