TL;DR: Three practical actions to minimize the impact of future pandemics are explored: better surveillance of pathogen spillover and development of global databases of virus genomics and serology, better management of wildlife trade, and substantial reduction of deforestation.

TL;DR: MASTREE+ as mentioned in this paper is a dataset of 73,828 georeferenced observations of annual reproduction (e.g., seed and fruit counts) in perennial plant populations worldwide.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the effectiveness of conservation strategies implemented in Kibale National Park, by quantifying changes in the abundance of nine animal species over two to five decades, and found that increased community wealth or park-related employment in a village next to the park were positively correlated with increased illegal forest product extraction.

TL;DR: The authors found that diurnal species already inhabiting hot, sparsely canopied sites, and exhibiting more generalized diets, are more likely to shift toward greater ground use, which is associated with increased temperature and a decrease in canopy cover, as well as species-specific traits, including a dietary shift away from fruits and larger group size.

TL;DR: This study provides novel evidence on the use of spatial memory to locate sleeping sites through analyses of movement patterns, which adds to an already extensive body of literature linking cognitive processes and sleeping patterns in human and non-human animals.
