Balancing benefits and burdens: Tourist camps and lion conservation in the Maasai Mara

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism supports conservation and economies, but its rapid expansion can negatively impact ecosystems. Using spatially explicit lion density data from the Maasai Mara (2014–2022), we found that higher densities of tourist camps significantly reduce lion presence, independent of prey or vegetation, and that newly established camps displace ...

Using Behavioral Science to end the Tropical Forest Wild Meat Crisis, illustrated by a case example from Central Africa

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract In tropical forests today, hunting for food and income remains largely unsustainable, with adverse implications for biodiversity, ecological services, and human wellbeing. Even though our scientific knowledge of the issue has improved greatly in recent years, the situation on the ground has not. This Perspective presents our opinions and ideas

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Seasonality as a structuring factor of the dung beetle community in burned neotropical savannas

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We tested the effects of fire, vegetation cover and seasonality on dung beetle communities, focusing on species richness, composition and co‐occurrence patterns in savannas. Fire did not affect species richness. However, seasonality was the dominant factor influencing species composition, followed by fire and vegetation cover.
