| Wiley Online Library Verified
1 Introduction We are experiencing a biodiversity crisis with estimated global extinction rates 100–1000 times greater than pre-human rates (Chapin et al., 2000; Christie et al., 2020; IPBES, 2019). Mammals have experienced some of the highest species (Ceballos et al., 2015; IPBES, 2019; Purvis et al., 2019).

Abstract Protected areas (PAs) play a vital role in wildlife conservation. Nonetheless there is concern and uncertainty regarding how and at what spatial scales anthropogenic stressors influence the occurrence dynamics of wildlife populations inside PAs. Here we assessed how anthropogenic stressors influence occurrence dynamics of 159 mammal species in 16 tropical PAs from three biogeographic regions.

Consistent diel activity patterns of forest mammals among tropical regions - Nature Communications

By Douglas Sheil, Lydia Beaudrot, Jorge Ahumada, Robert Bitariho, Santiago Espinosa, Vittoria Estienne, Patrick Jansen, Emanuel H. Martin, Badru Mugerwa, Francesco Rovero, Eustrate Uzabaho
| Nature Verified
Abstract An animal’s daily use of time (their “diel activity”) reflects their adaptations, requirements, and interactions, yet we know little about the underlying processes governing diel activity within and among communities. Here we examine whether community-level activity patterns differ among biogeographic regions, and explore the roles of top-down versus bottom-up processes and thermoregulatory constraints.
