Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.Comparing Local Ecological Knowledge(LEK) to Line‐Transect Surveys for Estimation of Species Occupancy in Central Amazon. We highlight the potential of complementing LEK‐based approaches with traditional surveys to attempt more comprehensive, rapid and cost‐effective monitoring of biodiversity.

High-resolution coproecology: Using coprolites to reconstruct the habits and habitats of New Zealand’s extinct upland Moa (Megalapteryx didinus) [PDF]
, 2005 Knowledge about the diet and ecology of extinct herbivores has important implications for understanding the evolution of plant defence structures, establishing the influences of herbivory on past plant community structure and composition, and identifying

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

Social media videos highlight the impacts of the illegal use of snares on Brazilian biodiversity
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2811-2820, November 2025.Abstract Snares are one of the most used types of non‐selective traps for hunting worldwide, though their use is prohibited in many countries, including Brazil. Indiscriminate and unmonitored use of snares can induce serious conservation problems, particularly in megadiverse countries where higher species richness and diversity mean that the ...

Effects of Landscape Characteristics on Abundance of Giant Anteaters in Intensively Farmed Areas
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.In this study, we analyzed the abundance of giant anteaters in 55 landscapes within a 34,000 km2 region that has undergone significant transformation due to intensive agricultural practices, particularly the cultivation of sugarcane. In each landscape, we used three camera traps to record the presence of this species. Our occupancy models revealed that

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Anthropogenic land‐use change and resource exploitation are driving declines in dung beetle communities, highlighting the need to identify priority habitats and species for conservation. This study assessed taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles across a land‐use disturbance gradient and different dung types using dung‐baited pitfall traps.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.This study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

Use of community characteristics to predict hunting and game harvests in western Amazonian forests
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.Abstract Wild game harvesting in Amazonia provides rural residents with protein and cash income but can threaten wildlife populations and forest ecosystem functions. As yet, the socioeconomic and environmental drivers that shape hunter livelihoods remain poorly understood.
