Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Social Determinants of Sepsis Mortality in the United States: A Retrospective, Epidemiologic Analysis

World Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in the United States, with over 350,000 deaths annually, yet the contribution of neighborhood‐level social determinants of health (SDoH) remains underexplored. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 4.4 million hospitalized patients with sepsis, identified using ICD‐10 codes, leveraging de‐identified ...

Trait‐mediated effects driven by an invasive herbivore alter functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits play a fundamental role in mediating plant‐frugivore interactions, shaping seed dispersal dynamics. Given the complexity of multi‐species interactions, these traits and, consequently, plant‐frugivore interactions can be indirectly influenced by third‐party ...

Diversidad filogenética de especies de Microcoleus de costras biológicas de suelo

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2010
Microcoleus vaginatus fue proclamada como especie cosmopolita. Este supuesto no lo confirman los estudios morfológicos previos que se realizaron en poblaciones naturales de costras de suelo en una región con historia geológica particular, llamada sierra ...

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Identifying priority areas for conservation to promote connectivity and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...

Assisted migration of forest populations for adapting trees to climate change

Revista Chapingo: Serie Ciencias Forestales y del Ambiente, 2016
En este trabajo se presenta evidencia de que el cambio climático es un proceso que está en curso y que las poblaciones de árboles forestales son genéticamente diferenciadas en caracteres cuantitativos debido a la adaptación en hábitats específicos.
