Modified vehicle lighting reduces wildlife collision risk by enhancing deer and wild pig avoidance responses at night

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Generally, LED headlights had neutral or beneficial effects on wildlife responses, suggesting they could reduce collisions given the increased illumination levels they provide drivers. Additionally, our results support previous research indicating increased frontal vehicle illumination can reduce dangerous encounters with wildlife. Our findings suggest

DiVert: A Global Database of Land Use and Management Effects on Local Vertebrate Abundance and Diversity

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Given that land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, it is key to understand how different land use types and management practices affect biodiversity. Existing global databases on biodiversity responses to land use generally distinguish only broad land use types, focus on a wide taxonomic coverage at the expense of

Understanding Ancient Moose Populations in the Southern Rocky Mountains

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Moose (Alces alces) are an iconic symbol of contemporary Rocky Mountain ecosystems, and their growing abundance in Colorado and other portions of the Southern Rockies has inspired debate around their regional prehistory prior to their 20th century translocation. The Early Holocene biogeography of moose in North America is poorly characterised,

Critic analysis of regression equation models used to associate isolated postcranial bones and tooth remains: the case of the South American Paleogene ungulates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The taxonomy of fossil mammals is mostly based on dental characters as a consequence of the better preservation of teeth when comparing with other body parts.

Extinction of South American sparassodontans (Metatheria): environmental fluctuations or complex ecological processes?

open access: yes, 2017
Sparassodontans are a diverse but now extinct group of metatherians that were apex predators in South America during most of the Cenozoic. Studying their decline has been controversial mainly due to the scarcity of the fossil record, and different ...

Insights into South American Native Ungulate and Caviomorph Paleobiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
In the five chapters of this dissertation, I investigate the paleobiology of SouthAmerican native ungulates (SANUs) and caviomorph rodents. Although these studies involve different taxonomic groups and employ disparate methods, most rely on previously ...
