In this article, we assess the impact of two Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) initiatives aimed at deterring deforestation in the department of Guaviare, Colombia. The initiatives are the governm...

The effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity are widely debated. Some studies report positive effects, whereas others link habitat fragmentation to biodiversity loss. “Fragmentation per se” re...

Globally, hunting is a significant threat to non-human primates, potentially increasing their risk of extinction. Larger-bodied and more evolutionarily distinct species are at higher risk, although s...

My workflow from downloading Wildlife Insights data to extract the detection history of one species

Nature - In the race to embrace new technologies, some ecologists fear their field is losing touch with nature.

Different scientific traditions offer seemingly disparate approaches to inferring causal relationships in ecological systems. This Perspective unifies the causal assumptions and methods from...

Can plantations contribute to land use diversity? You guessed it... It depends! To find out, check this nice post about the first paper we wrote for my PhD! Stay tuned as we keep exploring the multi...

After half a century of steep declines, North America’s birds are disappearing faster than ever. A new study shows that populations are shrinking across most of the continent, with intensive…

Post provided by Ravi Umadi. On a humid, warm evening—close to 40 °C—in Mohali, India, I stood outside holding a bat detector, listening for something I had never heard before. Although I had never…

Deforestation in Colombia appears to have declined in 2025, with notable reductions in several departments that have historically struggled with forest loss. An estimated 36,280 hectares (89,650…

As deforestation and habitat loss drive down wildlife populations, mosquitoes are increasingly turning to another source for their blood meal: humans. That’s the finding of a new study in Brazil’s…

Recent computational and methodological advances in phylogenetics and bioinformatics, along with the increasing availability of evolutionary and ecological data, have produced deeper insights into the...

Abstract. The evolutionary history and systematics of blind mole rats (BMR), subfamily Spalacinae (Gray, 1821), are complicated by uneven geographic sampli

Shrews in the genus Episoriculus are among the least-known mammals in China, where representatives occur mainly in the Himalayan and Hengduan mountains. We sequence one mitochondrial and three nuclear...

Brazilian authorities on Wednesday approved the world’s first single-dose dengue vaccine, which they hailed as a “historic” achievement as cases of the mosquito-borne disease soar globally due to risi...

Natural history collections hold over two billion specimens representing Earth’s biodiversity, but their scientific value depends on continued specimen collection and digitisation. This study demonstr...
