Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...

Linking regional and global functional trait data: insights from mammal communities in a fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Neotropical Freshwater Fishes: A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

, 2023
The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern ...

The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

Joint social‐ecological outcomes of private land conservation: An evidence synthesis with a well‐being perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Private land conservation (PLC) can contribute to sustainability by improving biodiversity and human well‐being but can also result in negative outcomes for people and nature if poorly designed. Informing PLC design to achieve objectives for joint biodiversity and well‐being is challenging because most evaluations assess ecological and social ...
