DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6048
Abstract: Abstract Protected areas (PAs) in the tropics are vulnerable to human encroachment, and, despite formal protection, they do not fully mitigate anthropogenic threats to habitats and biodiversity. However, attempts to quantify the effectiveness of PAs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-00978-x
Abstract: Biotic homogenization (BH), the process by which β-diversity erodes, is suspected to be severe among plant communities due to widespread anthropogenic disturbances. However, few studies have directly linked anthropogenic disturbance with patterns of BH. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1466252318000087
Abstract: Abstract The continual rise of anthropogenic disturbance of ecosystems has been associated with an increasing incidence of emerging diseases. The largest amount of data on emerging diseases relates to bacterial and viral pathogens, but there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coaa086
Abstract: We tested whether proximity to sources of anthropogenic disturbance influenced baseline stress levels of a wild ungulate in relation to their space use behaviour. We found that faecal cortisol metabolites increased as distance to human… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13469
Abstract: 1. Most terrestrial species occur in human-modified landscapes that are experiencing climate change. In addition to direct impacts on species, both anthropogenic disturbance and climate change can have important effects through changes in species interactions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14131
Abstract: The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is a key plant-microbe interaction in sustainable functioning ecosystems. Increasing anthropogenic disturbance poses a threat to AM fungal communities worldwide, but there is little empirical evidence about its potential negative… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.911275
Abstract: Increasing anthropogenic disturbances in Madagascar are exerting constrains on endemic Malagasy lemurs and their habitats, with possible effects on their health and survival. An important component of health is the gut microbiome, which might be… read more here.
