The involvement of community members significantly increases the success of tree planting projects – a case study of baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) planting, South Africa
Baobab trees ( Adansonia digitata L.) play a vital ecological and socio-economic role in Southern Africa, but they face poor natural recruitment due to browsing and erratic rainfall. This study assessed the health, growth and survival of planted baobabs which were cared for by community members called “Baobab Guardians” and compared their survival and causes of mortality to a historic dataset of “unguarded” trees that were planted in the same are…
Viral Prevalence in Wild Serval Population is Driven by Season and Sex
One of the key factors influencing the population dynamics of threatened species such as felids is disease, but long-term studies of the factors influencing seroprevalence of wild felids are extremely rare, hindering conservation efforts. We set out to determine seroprevalence of six viral diseases (feline panleukopenia virus, feline leukemia virus, feline coronavirus, feline calicivirus, feline herpes virus, and feline immunodeficiency virus) am…
‘If you are empathetic you care about both animals and people. I am a nurse and I don’t like to see suffering anywhere’
This report presents qualitative and quantitative data from 103 UK healthcare professionals describing attitudes to the current system of animal testing (to produce medicines and health interventions). To gather qualitative testimony, these healthcare professionals were organised into six separate focus groups (of 18, 17, 17, 15, 17 and 19 participants) where they were asked ‘what is your opinion about the current system of animal testing?’ The s…
Los seres humanos como depredadores
La teoría depredador-presa sugiere que los depredadores generalistas están vinculados a la estabilidad demográfica de las presas, mientras que los especialistas son desestabilizadores. En este artículo hemos hecho una revisión general de las consecuencias demográficas de diferentes estrategias de depredación y hemos intentado testar la hipótesis de que la caza de subsistencia se produce de forma oportunista, la caza de persecución sería la realiz…
