Lions as Bone Accumulators? Exploring Multi‐Predator Contributions to the Olduvai Carnivore Site (OCS) (Tanzania) Through AI and Metric Analyses

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lions (Panthera leo) are apex predators with a well‐documented influence on ecological dynamics, yet their potential role as bone‐accumulating agents remains poorly understood and often debated. Previous taphonomic studies have largely attributed bone accumulations in African savannah ecosystems to other carnivores, such as spotted hyenas ...

Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

Computational Evaluation of Statin Analogs Targeting HMG‐CoA Reductase for Coronary Artery Disease Treatment

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics analysis of novel statin analogs shows that binding induces superior stabilization of HMG‐CoA reductase. As shown by the solvent‐accessible surface area profile, ligand‐induced rigidity offers a new, effective strategy for drug design. Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global mortality.

A Framework for Understanding and Evaluating Localization: The Case of HelpAge International

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many transnational non‐governmental organizations (TNGOs) are reevaluating their organizational forms and norms as they pursue localization. Localization itself is a contested and multifaceted concept, however, complicating the design, implementation, and evaluation of localization efforts.

Urban wild meat and pangolin consumption across southern forested Cameroon: The limited influence of COVID‐19

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Overexploitation of wildlife is pervasive in many tropical regions, and in addition to being a significant conservation and sustainability concern, it has received global attention given discussions over the origins of zoonotic disease outbreaks.

How uneven access shapes the socio‐economic and environmental potential of game meat value chains: The case of legal game meat in Zambia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Game meat contributes to human nutrition, food security and sociocultural practices around the world. Game meat also comes with risks, including overharvesting and zoonotic and food‐borne disease. These may be pronounced where game meat travels along complex value chains from rural to urban areas.

Conserving wildlife through demand reduction and supply alternatives: Two experiments in restaurants in Kinshasa

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract High aggregate levels of wildlife consumption in cities in Central Africa highlight the need for solutions that balance wildlife protection, local livelihoods and the relational values between people and nature. This study explores the impacts of demand‐ and supply‐side interventions on wild meat consumption through two randomized control ...
