DOI: 10.1007/s10668-019-00446-w
Abstract: Nowadays, human activities are causing an important collapse in global biodiversity while also affecting the global climate considerably. Despite historical agreements on both biodiversity conservation and climate change, humanity keeps changing the face of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2021.109046
Abstract: Abstract Projections of human population growth for 2050 indicate that Africa is expected to steadily increase its rural population, raising questions on how to best accommodate people while minimizing impacts on biodiversity. We explored the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2017.09.006
Abstract: Competitive processes and their outcomes, such as interactions between scleractinian corals and macroalgae, are important drivers of the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems. Human communities can alter the dynamics of coral-algal interactions by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-21201-8
Abstract: The disappearance of many North American megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene is a contentious topic. While the proposed causes for megafaunal extinction are varied, most researchers fall into three broad camps emphasizing human… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07362994.2020.1804403
Abstract: Abstract On the global platform of emerging infectious diseases, dengue fever added a serious health concern, especially in the tropical and subtropical countries with poor health services. Due to unavailability of proper vaccination, primary prevention… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10106049.2016.1178815
Abstract: Abstract The land use and land cover pattern of a region is a consequence of natural and socio-economic factors and their utilization by man in time and space. In this study, we hypothesized that land… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evz014
Abstract: Despite the fundamental importance of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to human evolution, there are still large gaps in our understanding of the forces that shape their distribution across the genome. SNPs have been shown to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2016.0415
Abstract: Biodiversity is sustained by and is essential to the services that ecosystems provide. Different species would use these services in different ways, or adaptive strategies, which are sustained in time by continuous innovations. Using this… read more here.

Local human population increase in the non‐breeding areas of long‐distance migrant bird species is only weakly associated with their declines, even for synanthropic species

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.13006
Abstract: AIM: To show how recent declines in populations of long‐distance migrant birds are associated with recent increases in human population growth and agricultural intensification on their tropical non‐breeding grounds, except for synanthropic species, where we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.13219
Abstract: Aim: The recent recovery of large carnivores in Europe has been explained as resulting from a decrease in human persecution driven by widespread rural land abandonment, paralleled by forest cover increase and the consequent increase… read more here.
