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

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Beyond species loss: Community reshuffling shapes biodiversity along the urban–rural gradient
Our results indicate that species turnover is a general ecological mechanism shaping vertebrate communities along the urban gradient, driven by taxon‐ and species‐specific responses to environmental and spatial features. Community differences primarily reflect habitat suitability rather than dispersal limitation, highlighting the potential of targeted ...
