Globally, environmental crimes are a major threat to biodiversity and the livelihood of local populations. Community‐based protection of natural resources, which involves local people in surveillance and enforcement, is an important complement to the government‐led command‐and‐control policing approach. We examined whether a community‐based voluntary patrolling system deterred environmental crimes in Amazonia. We used data on...
Two hundred and five newly assembled mitogenomes provide mixed evidence for rivers as drivers of speciation for Amazonian primatesNARA Subscribed
Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study species from which high‐quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using mitochondrial markers are usually reliant on reference databases, but these are often incomplete. Furthermore, available mitochondrial genomes often lack crucial metadata, such as sampling location, limiting their utility for many analyses. Here, we assemble...
Urban wild meat consumption and trade in central AmazoniaNARA Subscribed
The switch from hunting wild meat for home consumption to supplying more lucrative city markets in Amazonia can adversely affect some game species. Despite this, information on the amounts of wild meat eaten in Amazonian cities is still limited. We estimated wild meat consumption rates in 5 cities in the State of Amazonas in Brazil through 1046 door‐to‐door household interviews conducted from 2004 to 2012. With these data, we...
