Assessing the palatability of different meats consumed in a biodiversity hotspot to inform alternative protein interventions. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Alternative protein interventions are common in conservation. They aim to reduce the hunting or consumption of wildlife by promoting substitutes. However, selecting suitable meat substitutes is challenging because many factors drive wild meat consumption. Palatability, one such factor, drives consumer food preference and is potentially crucial

9-Deoxymuzigadial, a Sesquiterpene Isolated From Drimys brasiliensis (Winteraceae), Displays Reduced Cytotoxicity In Vitro and Modulates Leukocyte Activity and Fibrogenesis In Vivo. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
ABSTRACT The aims of this study were to investigate in vitro cytotoxic potential and the effects of daily administration during the inflammatory response induced by sponge implants in mice of the sesquiterpene 9‐deoxymuzigadial (9‐DOM), isolated from Drimys brasiliensis (Winteraceae).

Assessing the impact of preventative measures to limit the spread of Toxoplasma gondii in wild carnivores of Madagascar. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Novel multihost pathogens can threaten endangered wildlife species, as well as humans and domestic animals. The zoonotic protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted by members of Felidae and can infect a large number of animal species, including humans.

Recovery of insular seabird populations years after rodent eradication

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Seabirds have been particularly affected by invasive non‐native species, which has led to the implementation of numerous eradication campaigns for the conservation of these keystone and highly vulnerable species. Although the benefits of eradication of invasive non‐native species for seabird conservation have been demonstrated, the recovery ...

Deciphering the Hantavirus Host Range Combining Virology and Species Distribution Models with an Emphasis on the Yellow Pygmy Rice Rat (Oligoryzomys flavescens)

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. In Central and South America, 28 hantavirus lineages were associated with different Sigmodontinae rodents. Of these, Lechiguanas hantavirus was initially described as a lineage associated with HPS cases in the central region of Argentina.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Transcriptomic profiling of dorsal root ganglia in atopic and healthy dogs: A comparative RNA sequencing study with implications in cutaneous itch research. [PDF]

Vet Dermatol
Background – Itch is a common symptom in skin disorders. While the neural pathways of itch transmission from the skin to the brain are well‐understood in rodents, the same pathways in dogs remain unclear. The knowledge gap hinders the development of effective treatments for canine itch‐related disorders.

Wild meat trade over the last 45 years in the Peruvian Amazon

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract The trade in wild meat is an important economic component of rural people's livelihoods, but it has been perceived to be among the main causes of the decline of wildlife species. Recently, the COVID‐19 pandemic has brought to light an additional concern of wildlife markets as a major human‐health challenge.
