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 ...

Opium Cultivation Imperilling Endangered Species in Northern Laos

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
To avoid government eradication efforts, farmers in northeastern Laos shifted opium cultivation deep into a national park, causing a > 1000% increase in protected forest cleared for the crop between 2018 and 2022. This displacement directly threatened endangered species like white‐cheeked gibbons, elephants, and dholes by causing a rise in hunting ...

Rising Connectivity, Shifting Hubs: The Evolving Network and Governance Challenges of Global Wild‐Sourced Trade

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Wild‐sourced wildlife trade is not only increasing in volume but also changing in network structure. Using three decades of CITES trade records, we found that the wild‐sourced wildlife trade has become increasingly connected and taxonomically uneven, with Anthozoa contributing a growing share.

When psychedelic discourse meets local narrative: Selective uptake of psychedelic meanings surrounding mad honey in Nepal

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims ‘Mad honey’ is produced when bees collect nectar from Rhododendron species containing grayanotoxins, naturally occurring diterpenoid toxins that can produce dose‐dependent intoxication. It has long been embedded in Nepalese medicinal and ritual practices but has recently become part of global psychedelic discourse. This study examined how
