Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...

Trade and ethnozoological use of African lorisiformes in the last 20 years [PDF]
, 2016 Trade in primates is considered a major impediment to primate conservation globally. The bushmeat trade in West and Central Africa is considered largely unsustainable and represents one of the main threats to biodiversity.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Nutritional and reproductive dynamics of moose near their southern range limit
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Though southern moose (Alces alces) had relatively low seasonal fluctuations in body fat, their condition was positively associated with pregnancy and adult survival but did not influence recruitment of young. We demonstrated clear signs of nutritional limitation and unexpected patterns of reproductive performance that may be unique to moose living at ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.

Integral chain management of wildlife diseases [PDF]
, 2019 The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused the most prominent loss of vertebrate diversity ever recorded, which peaked in the 1980s. Recent incursion by its sister species B. salamandrivorans in Europe raised the alarm for a new wave of

Deep Learning Unlocks Behavioral Prediction and Neurobehavioral Decoding
Med Research, EarlyView.This review evaluates deep learning frameworks that surmount conventional limitations through high‐dimensional nonlinear modeling, spatiotemporal dependency capture, and multimodal information integration. Focusing on biological behavior forecasting and neural mechanism decoding, we delineate cutting‐edge applications, including real‐time action ...
