International Savanna Fire Management Initiative

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Due to colonisation, traditional ways of fire management have been suppressed across landscapes and as a result vast areas of country are poorly managed and degraded. Conventional methods of firefighting have largely failed. Climate change will make the

An AI‐based and coding‐free integration for forest Leaf Area Index calculation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Seasonal and spatial variations in Leaf Area Index (LAI, or plant area index, PAI) are challenging to delineate in tropical forests because the changes are often too subtle to be reliably detected. Many existing DHP software tools offer one‐click processing of all images using auto‐threshold segmentation (e.g.

Potential vs. Realized Large Carnivore Density: The Influence of Livestock on Carnivore Carrying Capacity Estimation

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Mammals Across a Nationwide Protected Area Network

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Understanding Mammalian Habitat Use With a Multi‐Species, Multi‐Scale Approach: The Jaguar Protection Corridor in Guaviare, Colombia

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...
