Testosterone levels change with subsistence hunting effort in !Kung San Men
Psychoneuroendocrinology, 1987Although little is known empirically of the physiology of human hunting, arguments for innate biological bases of gender-dimorphic behaviors such as aggression frequently point to the role of hunting in human evolution. Study of !Kung San hunter-gatherer men demonstrated that the diurnal pattern in serum testosterone was altered during a six-day hunt ...

Modeling the Sustainability of Subsistence Farming and Hunting in the Ituri Forest of Zaire
Conservation Biology, 1998We used empirical data to simulate the impacts, over the next 40 years, of subsistence‐level agricultural clearing and bushmeat consumption on forest resources within the recently established Okapi Wildlife Reserve in northeastern Zaire. Satellite imagery, human population census data, and field measurements were used to calculate present and projected

Conservation Biology, 2007
Abstract: The presence of indigenous people in tropical parks has fueled a debate over whether people in parks are conservation allies or direct threats to biodiversity. A well‐known example is the Matsigenka (or Machiguenga) population residing in Manu National Park in Peruvian Amazonia.

Effects of Subsistence Hunting on Vertebrate Community Structure in Amazonian Forests
Conservation Biology, 2000Abstract: Subsistence hunting affects vast tracts of tropical wilderness that otherwise remain structurally unaltered, yet distinguishing hunted from nonhunted tropical forests presents a difficult problem because this diffuse form of resource extraction leaves few visible signs of its occurrence.
