Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms
Darras, Kevin F. A.; Rountree, Rodney A.; Van Wilgenburg, Steven L.; Cord, Anna F.; Pitz, Frederik; Chen, Youfang; Dong, Lijun; Rocquencourt, AgnèsAim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. ...
BIOFRAG - a new database for analyzing BIOdiversity responses to forest FRAGmen...
Pfeifer, Marion; Lefebvre, Véronique; Gardner, Toby Alan; Arroyo-Rodríguez, Víctor; Baeten, Lander; Banks-Leite, Cristina; Barlow, JosHabitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging to synthesize. Inconsistencies among studies may result from variation in the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded by a lack of key statistical or methodological information. Collating primary datasets on biodiversity responses to fragmentation in a consistent and flexible database permits s...
Bushmeat hunting and extinction risk to the world’s mammals
Ripple, William J.; Abernethy, Katharine; Betts, Matthew G.; Chapron, Guillaume; Dirzo, Rodolfo; Galetti, Mauro [UNESP]; Levi, Taal; Lindsey, Peter A.Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:29:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-10-19; Terrestrial mammals are experiencing a massive collapse in their population sizes and geographical ranges around the world, but many of the drivers, patterns and consequences of this decline remain poorly understood. Here we provide an analysis showing that bushmeat hunting for mostly food and medicinal...

Pfeifer, Marion; Lefebvre, Veronique; Gardner, Toby A.; Arroyo-Rodriguez, Victor; Baeten, Lander; Banks-Leite, Cristina; Barlow, Jos; Betts, Matthew G.Estudos de fragmentação de habitat produziram resultados complexos que são desafiadores para sintetizar. Inconsistências entre os estudos podem resultar da variação a escolha de métricas de paisagem e variáveis de resposta, que geralmente é composta por falta de informação estatística ou metodológica chave. Collating conjuntos de dados primários sobre as respostas da biodiversidade à fragmentação de forma con...
