Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Forests expand as livestock pressure declines in subtropical South America
Ecology and Society, 2019 Forests, savannas, and grasslands are prevalent across the landscapes of South America. Land uses associated with these ecosystems have influenced economies from household to country scales, shaping social-ecological organization across the region since ...

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transnational due diligence regulations, such as the European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐Free Products (EUDR), are reshaping sustainability governance by transforming voluntary norms into binding global rules. Yet, their effectiveness depends on how well they align with domestic governance systems and on the power asymmetries that ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Hundreds of thousands of peer‐reviewed articles and grey‐literature reports appear each year in ecology and conservation, creating a pressing need for scalable synthesis tools. We demonstrate that transformer‐based Large Language Models (LLMs), when embedded within a practical, expert‐in‐the‐loop pipeline, offer a reliable path forward ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Tropical dry ecosystems (TDEs) cover half of the tropics and play a key role in global carbon dynamics. TDEs present distinct canopy and ground layers that often exhibit contrasting phenological patterns. On‐the‐ground observations of phenology by the human eye, though valuable, may suffer from limited temporal resolution and observer biases ...

Community Ecology and Phylogeography of Bats in the Guianan Savannas of Northern South America
Diversity, 2018 The Guiana Shield of South America contains savannas within one of the largest contiguous expanses of pristine tropical rainforest remaining in the world, but biodiversity in the grasslands is poorly known.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

Afforestation of tropical savannas has mixed consequences for bird communities
Conservation Science and PracticeLand‐use change is a key driver of tropical savanna biodiversity and one such widespread change is the conversion of ancient (i.e., old‐growth) savannas to tree plantations.
