Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Using Farm Animal Welfare Protocols as a Base to Assess the Welfare of Wild Animals in Captivity—Case Study: Dorcas Gazelles (Gazella dorcas)

Animals, 2018
There is a lack of protocols specifically developed for the assessment of welfare of wild animals in captivity, even when it is known that providing good standards of welfare is important.

Sodium sulfite can reliably induce chemical hypoxia without toxic effects in the model sea anemone species, Exaiptasia diaphana

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is accelerating the deoxygenation of aquatic ecosystems, so understanding its effects on biological processes is increasingly critical. An emerging method for inducing hypoxia during experimentation utilizes sodium sulfite (SSI) to scavenge oxygen; however, it remains unclear if hypoxia‐inducing concentrations of SSI are toxic ...

Does bigger mean sicker? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of the intraspecific relationship between host body size and parasite infection across vertebrate taxa

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elucidating the determinants of parasite infection levels of individuals within a population is a basic but important step for understanding the roles of parasites in natural systems. Among intraspecific studies on vertebrate hosts and metazoan parasites, host body size (length/mass) is probably the most frequently reported factor determining parasite ...

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Do cultural taboos regulate hunting in transitioning Indigenous communities? The case of the Idu Mishmi of Northeast India

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is rising recognition of resource‐use rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) within wildlife conservation. Historically, sociocultural institutions ensured wildlife sustainability in many IPLC areas. However, the future viability of such institutions is uncertain as IPLCs change in response to external pressures and ...

Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,
