Brazil’s mammals help humanity, but those services are at risk, study says Brazil has an abundance of wildlife, including many mammal species found nowhere else on Earth. Most of Brazil’s 701 native mammal species provide services that benefit people, such as helping forests grow, fertilizing fisheries, curbing sickness, and supporting pollination. However, according to a new study in Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, more than half of those ecosystem services are now at risk of being lost. The study, led by Mariana Vale of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, aimed to document the full range of ecosystem services performed by Brazilian mammals to highlight their importance for conservation. https://lnkd.in/dcRG5dtX

🌿 Excited to share the news: I've successfully completed the NPTEL exam in Wildlife Ecology! 🏆 Delved deep into ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. Ready to apply this knowledge to make a positive impact! #NPTEL #WildlifeEcology #ExamSuccess #ConservationLearning 📚🌳

Animal diversity key to ecosystem restoration, study shows "Animal biodiversity is critical if the goal is full ecosystem restoration" "Typical land restoration criteria have focused on vegetation and soil, often with little consideration of animal diversity." A widely accepted framework for specifying faunal standards for restoration is presented in this paper published at Restoration Ecology, incorporating: (1) the identification of appropriate reference conditions; (2) the taxa to be targeted for assessment; (3) the attributes of these taxa to be measured; (4) acceptable similarity with reference conditions; and (5) robust sampling methodologies for reliable assessment https://shorturl.at/amZ01

We have a new publication out in the journal Population Ecology. Working with collaborators from Virginia Tech's Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, we created a population viability model for flatwoods salamanders using a 13-year history of monitoring data. This paper highlights the importance of long-term datasets that can be used to better understand population dynamics and inform future management actions for rare species. This paper combines work from Dr. George Brooks' and Science Director, Dr. Houston Chandler's dissertations and can be viewed on our publication page. https://lnkd.in/dEYn_cRQ #OrianneSociety #HoustonChandler #ScienceofScales #science #research #conservation #salamanders Check out our latest paper in Population Ecology! Teamed up with Virginia Tech's Dept of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, we created a vital population viability model for flatwoods salamanders using 13-year history of data.

Happy National Wildlife Ecology Day! Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and their environments, which includes our interactions with wildlife, as well! Our actions are so important to the well-being of the world's wildlife, so stay mindful of your lifestyle and its impacts.

Wildlife monitoring helps us understand the human-nature interface, conservation ecology, and more. Stay tuned to the first tutorial on how teams are using Outway to track all the wild happenings in the field!

The Kenya Long-term Exclosure Experiment (KLEE) aims to determine the effects of herbivory that cattle, wildlife, and separately, elephants and giraffes have on savanna ecology, both separately and in combination. Researchers have been better able to identify the ways in which ecological communities assemble and function, allowing for more informed management and conservation actions! #ResearchAtMpala https://lnkd.in/dmdQjUYx
