Mammal Responses to Habitat Degradation Induced by Cashew Expansion in West Africa

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Relationships between (a) estimated mammal species richness, (b) overall mammal species photographic rate, (c) carnivore photographic rate, (d) insectivore photographic rate, (e) omnivore photographic rate and (f) herbivore photographic rate and the local habitat characteristics as denoted by the scores of the first component of the Principal Component

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Human Milk Practices in Swedish Neonatal Units: Results From a Nationwide Survey

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to describe the routines for handling mother's own milk and donor human milk in Swedish neonatal care units related to national guidelines. Methods A web‐based survey of 24 of 38 neonatal units and 19 of 28 human milk banks in Sweden. Results Despite national guidelines, breast milk handling varied widely.

Dementia, Advance Directives, and Second‐Order Volitions

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper contributes to the ongoing debate over the authority of advance directives in cases where patients with dementia express desires that conflict with their earlier wishes. Drawing on Harry Frankfurt's concept of second‐order volitions, I argue that the preferences of the pre‐dementia self (the “then‐self”) should, in most cases, take ...

Effects of landscape fragmentation on floodplain fishes as revealed by species–habitat networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract How species interact with habitat patches is influenced primarily by habitat configuration (e.g., connectivity) and species’ functional traits. As levels of fragmentation increase, identifying the intricate connections between these components is crucial for biodiversity conservation.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Habitat use and diel activity of insectivorous bats across land‐cover types on an Afrotropical oceanic island

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Using acoustic surveys, we investigated habitat use and diel activity patterns of insectivorous bats across the main land‐use types of the endemic‐rich Príncipe Island, in Central West Africa. We sampled bat activity at 48 sites spanning old‐growth forests, secondary regrowth forests, shaded cocoa plantations, and horticultural areas.
