Tolerance for jaguars among ranching communities in the Colombian Llanos

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livestock protection measures are often implemented with the desired outcome of reducing retaliatory killings. We studied drivers of retaliatory killings in four communities in the Colombian Llanos and evaluated whether an electric fencing intervention would improve tolerance for jaguars.

Forest thinning creates short‐term roosting opportunities for northern long‐eared bats in central hardwood forests

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Producing a Red List of Ecosystems for the Brazilian Cerrado

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Land clearance is a key driver of biodiversity loss. This is a particular issue in the Brazilian Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna biome and a region experiencing the rapid expansion of agriculture. By using the Red List of Ecosystems as an international standard, we provide the first globally comparable analysis of the state of the Cerrado,

Plant Growth and Arthropod Assemblage Metrics on Sapindus saponaria Fertilized With Dehydrated Municipal Sewage Sludge

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Under the conditions evaluated, dehydrated municipal sewage sludge increased branches per plant and ground cover in Sapindus saponaria and increased cumulative arthropod observations and species richness in selected groups. Exploratory multivariate patterns did not demonstrate direct causal plant–arthropod relationships.

Social bees can enhance the persistence of plant–bee interactions during seasonal changes in seasonally dry tropical forests

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Social bees, especially Meliponini, formed a persistent core that maintained plant–bee interactions across both dry and green seasons in the Caatinga. Persistence was not linked to broader diets; social bees used fewer plant species, despite availability, indicating selective tracking of temporally concentrated floral resources.
