Landscape influences bat suppression of pine processionary moth: Implications f...
Augusto, Ana Margarida; Pereira, S.; Rodrigues, S.; Marques, F.; Aizpurua, O.; Alberdi, A.; Jones, G.; Razgour, O.; Marques, T.A.; Russo, D.; Rebelo, H.Bats provide important ecosystem services, particularly in agriculture, yet integrating bat management into conservation plans remains challenging. Some landscape features considerably influence bat presence, diversity, and ecosystem service provision. Understanding the relationship between landscape structure, composition, pest suppression, and ecosystem services is crucial. We modelled areas where bats most e...
Spatiotemporal distribution patterns of the sea cucumber Holothuria arguinensis...

Drivers of human-wildlife impact events involving mammals in Southeastern Brazil
Hilário, Renato; Carvalho, W.D.; Gheler-Costa, C.; Rosalino, L. M.; Marques, T.A.; Adania, C.H.; Paulino, J.S.; Almeida, P.M.; Mustin, K.Annually millions of animals are killed as a result of human-wildlife impacts. Each year the NGO Associação Mata Ciliar (NGOMC), in Southeastern Brazil, receives and rehabilitates thousands of animals. We evaluated how natural and anthropogenic characteristics affect the risk of different types of human-wildlife impacts for mammals that arrive at the NGOMC; and explore the relationship between both the animal's...
