More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives.

Do cultural taboos regulate hunting in transitioning Indigenous communities? The case of the Idu Mishmi of Northeast India

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is rising recognition of resource‐use rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) within wildlife conservation. Historically, sociocultural institutions ensured wildlife sustainability in many IPLC areas. However, the future viability of such institutions is uncertain as IPLCs change in response to external pressures and ...

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Urinary Collagen Peptides Predict Mortality

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organ fibrosis caused by the presence of excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) is related to mortality. Urinary peptide signatures were reported to be predictive of death in SARS‐CoV‐2 and chronic kidney disease. Such signatures were composed for 68% of collagen fragments.
