A framework for disentangling drivers of microbiome composition for wildlife conservation

Vanessa Morris, Benjamin J. Pitcher, Robert G. Harcourt, Isabelle Charrier et autres

Abstract Animals’ microbiomes are important to individual health and population viability. Failure to incorporate microbiomes into conservation actions may have profound consequences. In a changing world, whether microbiomes of wild populations are shaped by endogenous (e.g. host) or exogenous (e.g. environment) drivers …

Consequences of global shipping traffic for marine giants

Vanessa Pirotta, Alana Grech, Ian D. Jonsen, W. F. Laurance et autres

(Uploaded by Plazi for the IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment) Shipping routes in the ocean are analogous to terrestrial roads, in that they are regularly used thoroughfares that concentrate the movement of vessels between multiple locations. We applied a terrestrial road ecology …
