Tolerance for jaguars among ranching communities in the Colombian Llanos

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livestock protection measures are often implemented with the desired outcome of reducing retaliatory killings. We studied drivers of retaliatory killings in four communities in the Colombian Llanos and evaluated whether an electric fencing intervention would improve tolerance for jaguars.

Producing a Red List of Ecosystems for the Brazilian Cerrado

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Land clearance is a key driver of biodiversity loss. This is a particular issue in the Brazilian Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna biome and a region experiencing the rapid expansion of agriculture. By using the Red List of Ecosystems as an international standard, we provide the first globally comparable analysis of the state of the Cerrado,

Plant Growth and Arthropod Assemblage Metrics on Sapindus saponaria Fertilized With Dehydrated Municipal Sewage Sludge

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Under the conditions evaluated, dehydrated municipal sewage sludge increased branches per plant and ground cover in Sapindus saponaria and increased cumulative arthropod observations and species richness in selected groups. Exploratory multivariate patterns did not demonstrate direct causal plant–arthropod relationships.
