Three Decades of Research on Iberian Wild Ungulates: Key Insights and Promising...
Carvalho, João; Carpio, António; Figueiredo, Ana M.; Fonseca, Carlos; Ferreira, Eduardo; Serrano, Emmanuel; Barja, Isabel; Sánchez‐Zapata, JoséThe Iberian Peninsula is witnessing ever-faster environmental changes, and new challenges for wild ungulates are continuously emerging as they become more abundant and widespread. We conducted a systematic review to analyse the knowledge on wild ungulates inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula. We used Web of Science and Scopus search engines, complemented by searches in nonindexed journals, to examine peer-reviewed ...
Livelihood vulnerability and human-wildlife interactions across protected areas
Pereira, Joana; Rosalino, L. M.; Ekblom, Anneli; Santos, MariaProtected Areas (PAs) are important wildlife refuges and act as climate change buffers, but they may impact human livelihoods, particularly engendering a high risk of negative human-wildlife interactions (HWI). Understanding synergies and trade-offs among the drivers of overall human vulnerability within PAs is needed to ensure good outcomes for conservation and human well-being. We examined how climate variabi...
Fine‐scale variation in the medium and large‐sized mammal assemblage compositio...
Brandão, Fernanda Colares; Carvalho, William Douglas; Duarte, Herbert O. B.; Rosalino, L. M.; da Silva, Cláudia Regina; Hilário, Renato RichardUnderstanding fine-scale assemblage composition patterns of mammals is important to increase ecological knowledge and support conservation actions. We investigated whether β-diversity of medium and large-sized mammals and its components (replacement and richness difference) are related to distance to major rivers, height above the nearest drainage (HAND), and vegetation height; and whether species interactions ...
Avenues for Coexistence: How Perception of Costs and Benefits Shape Attitudes t...
Lino, Sofia; Carvalho, João; Fonseca, Carlos; Rosalino, L. M.Human dimensions play a pivotal role in wolf management and conservation. To offer an informed basis to improve Human-Wolf coexistence, we explore how socio-demographic factors, fear, knowledge, and perceptions of costs and benefits of wolf presence drive human attitudes in the southern area of the Douro River, Portugal, a region inhabited by a small and endangered wolf population. We interviewed 220 people (17...
FSC forest certification effects on biodiversity: A global review and meta-anal...
Matias, Gonçalo; Cagnacci, Francesca; Rosalino, L. M.FSC is a worldwide recognized forest certification scheme, that aims to promote the environmentally responsible management and conservation of the world's forests. Despite its broad application, there is little evidence of its effect on biodiversity. To address this important knowledge gap, here we conducted a systematic review and a hierarchical meta-analysis of the effects of FSC on biodiversity worldwide. Ou...
The effects of wild ungulates on small mammals: a systematic review and meta‐an...
C. Afonso, Beatriz; Rosalino, L. M.; Henriques, Jorge; Tinoco Torres, Rita; Wauters, Jella; Carvalho, JoãoWild ungulates are increasing in several regions of the world, recolonizing the empty niche left by previous livestock systems. Due to their important role as ecosystem engineers, wild ungulates can modify and change vegetation structure, as well as modulate soil ecological processes, affecting the remaining components of communities and posing new management challenges. Several studies have evaluated the effec...
Spatiotemporal interactions between jaguars (Panthera onca) and their potential...
Duarte, Herbert O. B.; Rosalino, L. M.; de Toledo, José Júlio; Hilário, Renato Richard; Carvalho, William DouglasAlthough large carnivores usually prefer large prey, in some situations, they may shift their predation patterns towards smaller but abundant prey. The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large carnivore capable of changing its diet according to prey and habitat availability. Here, we assessed the temporal and spatiotemporal interactions between jaguars and their prey in the Maracá-Jipioca Islands (Northeastern Amazon,...
Influence of habitat edges on spatial and spatio-temporal occurrence patterns o...
Pereira, Rita; Matias, Gonçalo; Santos-Reis, Margarida; Rosalino, L. M.Human population growth leads to drastic changes in landscape structure that often result in fragmentation. Fragmentation modifies the landscape and divides it into smaller habitat patches, creating habitat edges. These can affect the distribution and abundance of species and influence interspecific interactions. By comparing edges with habitat interiors, we intend to study how or if habitat edges influence mes...
Can Eucalyptus plantations influence the distribution range of mesocarnivores?
Teixeira, Daniela F.; Carpio, Antonio J.; Rosalino, L. M.; Carniato, Davide; Fonseca, Carlos; Acevedo, PelayoContext The expansion of exotic plantations can impose conservation challenges on wildlife, and the Iberian Peninsula has one of the widest planted areas of exotic Eucalyptus sp. in Europe. Since mesocarnivores are pivotal elements of ecosystems’ functioning and Eucalyptus have been modifying the Portuguese landscape context in the last half century, it is crucial to understand how these systems may affect carn...
Big cats like water: occupancy patterns of jaguar in a unique and insular Brazi...
Duarte, Herbert O. B.; Carvalho, William D.; de Toledo, José Júlio; Rosalino, L. M.Patterns of detectability and occupation of the jaguar (Panthera onca) vary throughout its distribution, being determined primarily by vegetation cover, prey availability, and anthropogenic factors. However, there is still a large knowledge gap regarding what determines jaguar occupancy, especially in the Amazon. This knowledge gap is even more pronounced for oceanic islands, which represent unique and very sen...
