How globalization and climate change could affect foodborne parasites
E Pozio - Experimental Parasitology, 2020 - Elsevier
Foodborne parasites, most of which are zoonotic, represent an important human health
hazard. These pathogens which include both protozoa (eg, Cryptosporidium spp …

Innovations in camera trapping technology and approaches: The integration of citizen science and artificial intelligence
Simple Summary Camera traps, also known as “game cameras” or “trail cameras”, have
increasingly been used in wildlife research over the last 20 years. Although early units were …

Disturbance type and species life history predict mammal responses to humans
Human activity and land use change impact every landscape on Earth, driving declines in
many animal species while benefiting others. Species ecological and life history traits may …

Environmental DNA captures native and non-native fish community variations across the lentic and lotic systems of a megacity
Globally, urbanization poses a major threat to terrestrial biodiversity, yet its impact on fish
diversity is poorly understood, mainly because of surveying difficulties. In this study …

Mammalian body size is determined by interactions between climate, urbanization, and ecological traits
Anthropogenically-driven climate warming is a hypothesized driver of animal body size
reductions. Less understood are effects of other human-caused disturbances on body size …

Urbanization focuses carnivore activity in remaining natural habitats, increasing species interactions
Interspecific interactions can provoke temporal and spatial avoidance, ultimately affecting
population densities and spatial distribution patterns. The ability (or inability) of species to …

Does use of backyard resources explain the abundance of urban wildlife?
CP Hansen, AW Parsons, R Kays… - Frontiers in Ecology and …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
While urbanization is clearly contributing to biodiversity loss, certain wildlife assemblages
can paradoxically be diverse and abundant in moderately developed areas. One hypothesis …

Mammal population densities at a global scale are higher in human‐modified areas
Global landscapes are changing due to human activities with consequences for both
biodiversity and ecosystems. For single species, terrestrial mammal population densities …

Urban forest soils harbour distinct and more diverse communities of bacteria and fungi compared to less disturbed forest soils
Anthropogenic changes to land use drive concomitant changes in biodiversity, including that
of the soil microbiota. However, it is not clear how increasing intensity of human disturbance …
