SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies in Free-Ranging Fallow Deer (<i>Dama dama</i>) and Red Deer (<i>Cervus elaphus</i>) in Suburban and Rural Areas in Spain. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2023
Effective control of zoonotic infectious diseases requires identifying the animal species involved in the infectious cycle as transmitters or reservoirs where the pathogen could persist and evolve, increasing the risk of reintroduction of new variants in humans and animals.

Rapid riparian ecosystem decline in Rocky Mountain National Park. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Understanding the drivers of ecosystem collapse is critical for resource management, particularly for protected areas mandated to preserve biodiversity. In Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, tall willows (Salix spp.) dominated riparian vegetation, and a beaver–willow state was the natural ecosystem type in the Colorado River headwaters ...

Assessing the palatability of different meats consumed in a biodiversity hotspot to inform alternative protein interventions. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Alternative protein interventions are common in conservation. They aim to reduce the hunting or consumption of wildlife by promoting substitutes. However, selecting suitable meat substitutes is challenging because many factors drive wild meat consumption. Palatability, one such factor, drives consumer food preference and is potentially crucial

Public attitudes and intentions toward engaging in reintroduction of wolves to Japan

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Reintroducing apex predators is an important approach in ecosystem restoration; however, it is challenging. Wolves (Canis lupus) were exterminated in Japan around 1900, and since then, there has been a lack of top predators throughout the country.

Drivers of jaguar (Panthera onca) and puma (Puma concolor) predation on endangered primates within a transformed landscape in southern Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1058-1068, September 2023., 2023
Jaguar and puma seem to increase predation on endangered primates under certain environmental conditions. Abstract Human pressures have increasingly placed keystone species, such as large cats, under threat. Together with forest loss, prey depletion is one of the main threats to the survival of jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma concolor ...

Wild meat trade over the last 45 years in the Peruvian Amazon

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract The trade in wild meat is an important economic component of rural people's livelihoods, but it has been perceived to be among the main causes of the decline of wildlife species. Recently, the COVID‐19 pandemic has brought to light an additional concern of wildlife markets as a major human‐health challenge.

Stakeholders engagement as an important step for the long‐term monitoring of wild ungulate populations

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 2, Issue 3, July–September 2021., 2021
Ongoing monitoring is essential for the management of wildlife populations. The collaboration between local stakeholders and researchers is envisaged as an important partnership to monitor game species for long periods and vast territories. Here, we implemented a framework aimed at broadening the field applicability of Distance sampling techniques to ...

Reconciling multiple counterfactuals when evaluating biodiversity conservation impact in social‐ecological systems

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 510-521, April 2021., 2021
Abstract When evaluating the impact of a biodiversity conservation intervention, a counterfactual is typically needed. Counterfactuals are possible alternative system trajectories in the absence of an intervention. Comparing observed outcomes against the chosen counterfactual allows the impact (change attributable to the intervention) to be determined.
