Community‐informed and codesigned research to understand the impacts of railways on wildlife

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Trains cause mortalities of several animal species, but the ecological impacts of railways are understudied. Most research on wildlife–train collisions has focused on large mammals, but understanding railway‐specific risks for underrepresented taxa, especially vulnerable species, is important for developing effective mitigation strategies ...

Demographic performance review of a reintroduction project: Iberian lynx in Extremadura

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2189-2201, September 2025.
Demographic performance reviews are essential for understanding the drivers of population growth and for evaluating the outcomes of reintroduction initiatives. IPMs as exemplified by our Iberian lynx case study provide a powerful and flexible framework for quantifying reintroduction performance and addressing key research and management questions.

First Evidence of Fallen Fruit Feeding by Bats Revealed by Camera Traps in a Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
Ground foraging among volant frugivores is an underappreciated aspect of behavioral flexibility. Here we report the first evidence of fruit bats feeding on fallen fruit, captured by camera traps in a Costa Rican tropical dry forest. These observations provide insight into the flexibility and mechanisms of coexistence among frugivores.

Tiny Patch, Big Value: A Small Dry Forest Patch Supports Wildlife Conservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.
