The Socio‐Economic Benefits of Communal Trophy Hunting in Africa: A Value Chain Perspective From Namibia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International concerns around the equitable distribution of income generated by communal trophy hunting tourism have raised questions about the industry's effectiveness in promoting rural livelihoods and nature conservation. We examine how communities in Namibia derive benefits from wildlife and explore local perspectives on fostering active ...

Antimicrobial Residues in a Key Cerrado River: Distribution, Persistence, and Effects on Zebrafish Embryo‐Larval Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current study aimed to quantify the antimicrobials amoxicillin (AMX), cefazolin (CFZ), chloramphenicol (CHL), metronidazole (MTZ), and sulfamethoxazole (SX) in effluents and surface water of an important Cerrado river, calculate their half‐lives, and analyze their ecotoxicity following single and combined exposures.

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Importance of woody patches and vegetation heterogeneity in Texas tortoise microhabitat use

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Microhabitat sites provide important resources and thermal conditions to reptile species that can vary spatially and temporally. This study assessed Texas tortoise Gopherus berlandieri microhabitat use and its relationship with carapace temperature during their active (April–October) and inactive seasons (November–March) between January 2023 and ...

Distribution Patterns and Community Assembly of Soil Nematodes Along Elevation Gradients in a Dry-Hot Valley. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In the Yuanjiang dry‐hot valley, soil moisture is the primary driver of nematode abundance. Soil nutrients play a more important role in determining nematode diversity and community composition. Drought stress does not influence the assembly of soil nematode communities.

Nitrogen compounds emission and deposition in West African ecosystems: comparison between wet and dry savanna

, 2011
International audienceSurface emission and deposition fluxes of nitrogen compounds have been studied in five sites of West Africa during the period 2002 to 2007. Measurements of N deposition fluxes have been performed in IDAF sites representative of main
