Genomic Signatures in Maned Three‐Toed Sloths From Ancient to Recent Environmental Changes in Brazil's Threatened Atlantic Forest

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental and climatic changes have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of natural populations, leaving genomic signatures that reflect how species respond to these shifts and their impacts on genetic health. While these insights are essential for unravelling evolutionary histories and informing conservation strategies, studies on ...

Social media videos highlight the impacts of the illegal use of snares on Brazilian biodiversity

open access: yesPeople 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 ...

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an
