Predictors of extinction risk in large tropical forest mammals: from global to local

This study finds that predictors of extinction risk for tropical forest mammals are consistent across spatial scales but vary with temporal extent, highlighting the need to account for time when applying macroecological findings to conservation.

Forest degradation reshapes trophic functioning in vertebrate food webs across Amazonian forests

The paper quantifies how forest degradation affects trophic functioning in Amazonian vertebrate food webs, showing shifts in carnivory and herbivory despite stable biodiversity metrics.

The moon's influence on the activity of tropical forest mammals

The paper examines how tropical forest mammals respond to lunar cycles using camera trapping data, finding that 16% avoid moonlight while 3% are attracted to it.
