Amphibian and reptile dataset across different land-use types in Guinea-Bissau,...
dos Reis-Silva, Francisco; Alves-Martins, Fernanda; Martínez-Arribas, Javier; Pizzigalli, Cristian; Seck, Sambu; Rainho, Ana; Rocha, RicardoWest Africa is exceptionally biodiverse, yet its wildlife remains largely understudied despite the rapid and ongoing land-use changes. Large swaths of Guinea-Bissau’s landscape were historically characterised by native forest-savannah mosaics. However, key areas of savannah habitats have been converted to rice agroecosystems and forests are being transformed into cashew monocultures at unprecedented rates. Amph...
Unveiling how herpetofauna cope with land‐use changes—Insights from forest‐cash...
dos Reis‐Silva, Francisco; Pizzigalli, Cristian; Seck, Sambu; Cabeza, Mar; Rainho, Ana; Rocha, Ricardo; Palmeirim, Ana FilipaAgricultural induced land-use change comprises a key driver of biodiversity loss across tropical forests. Guinea-Bissau, among Afrotropical West Africa, was formerly occupied by native forest-savanna mosaics. While savannas have long given place to traditional rice agroecosystems, forests are now being transformed into cashew monocultures at unprecedented rates. The ecological impact of such rapid change is lar...
Friend or foe? Attitudes of rice farmers toward wild animals in West Africa
Chaves, Patrícia; Schaafsma, Marije; Dabo, Djunco; Lomba, Judite; Mané, Fodé Abulai; de Lima, Ricardo; Palmeirim, Jorge; Rocha, Ricardo; Seck, SambuAs the global human population grows and the demand for space and resources increases, human-wildlife interactions and conflicts are expected to rise, particularly in biodiversity-rich tropical agroecosystems where subsistence farmers and wildlife coexist. We investigated farmers' attitudes using the ABC framework, analyzing their affect, behavior, and cognition toward wild animals. Additionally, we explored ho...
