Disruption of an ant-plant mutualism shapes interactions between lions and their primary prey
Mutualisms often define ecosystems, but they are susceptible to human activities.
Combining experiments, animal tracking, and mortality investigations, we show that the …

Rethinking livestock encroachment at a protected area boundary
The presence of livestock inside protected areas, or “livestock encroachment,” is a global
conservation concern because livestock is broadly thought to negatively affect wildlife. The …

Ranging behaviours across ecological and anthropogenic disturbance gradients: a pan-African perspective of giraffe (Giraffa spp.) space use
Animal movement behaviours are shaped by diverse factors, including resource availability
and human impacts on the landscape. We generated home range estimates and daily …

Less is more: Lowering cattle stocking rates enhances wild herbivore habitat use and cattle foraging efficiency
Over a quarter of the world's land surface is grazed by cattle and other livestock, which are
replacing wild herbivores and widely regarded as drivers of global biodiversity declines. The …

Large herbivore loss has complex effects on mosquito ecology and vector‐borne disease risk
Loss of biodiversity can affect transmission of infectious diseases in at least two ways: by
altering host and vector abundance or by influencing host and vector behaviour. We used a …
