Hedgehogs and Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Uncovering the Role of Atelerix albiventris in the Parasite Life Cycle

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 104-115, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The ongoing invasion of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis threatens humans, other mammals, and birds. In Mallorca, neurological disorders associated with this parasite are increasingly reported in free‐living Algerian hedgehogs, Atelerix algirus, raising public health concerns.

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

Terrestrial mammal responses to habitat structure and quality of remnant riparian forests in an Amazonian cattle-ranching landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Extensive 1970–2010 deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has generated a ~ 1.5 Mha fragmented region known as the ‘arc of deforestation’. Farmers and cattle ranchers throughout Brazil are legally required to set-aside riparian forest strips within their

A Multivariate Space‐Time Dynamic Model for Characterizing the Atmospheric Impacts Following the Mt. Pinatubo Eruption

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The June 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption resulted in a massive increase of sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere, absorbing radiation and leading to global changes in surface and stratospheric temperatures. A volcanic eruption of this magnitude serves as a natural analog for stratospheric aerosol injection, a proposed solar radiation modification ...
