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

People 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.

Trophic Redundancy and the Hidden Dietary Overlap Between Native and Invasive Stream Fishes

Ecology of Freshwater Fish
ABSTRACT Biological invasions introduce non‐native species into natural ecosystems, often reshaping localcommunities and altering trophic interactions. In freshwater environments, such invasions can intensify resource use and threaten native fish diversity.

Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

Relational structure of illegal wildlife hunting in China: A nationwide hunter–prey network analysis

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife hunting continues to pose a major biodiversity threat in China, yet there remains no systemic relational understanding of the way in which perpetrators are linked to key taxa. To address this, here we provide a novel framework for understanding and addressing the systemic roots of wildlife crime.

Solapamiento trófico entre el lobo marino de un pelo Otaria flavescens y la pesquería de arrastre demersal del golfo San Matías, Patagonia, Argentina Trophic overlap between the South American sea lion Otaria flavescens and the demersal trawl fishery in San Matías Gulf, Patagonia, Argentina

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2011
A nivel internacional, paralelo a la declinación y al colapso de pesquerías de gran escala, surgió un interés creciente por el estudio de las interacciones entre mamíferos marinos y pesquerías. El golfo San Matías (Patagonia, Argentina) es considerado un

Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...
