Journal Article
Fragoso, J., Antunes, A., Altrichter, M., Constantino, P., Zapate-Rios, G., Camino, M., …et al. (2020). Mysterious disappearances of a large mammal in Neotropical forests. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.12.08.416552

The drivers of periodic population cycling by some animal species in northern systems remain unresolved1. Mysterious disappearances of populations of the Neotropical, herdforming white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari, henceforth “WLP”) have been anecd...

LED flashlight technology facilitates wild meat extraction across the tropics (2020)
Journal Article
Bowler, M., Beirne, C., Tobler, M., Anderson, M., Rocha El Bizri, H., & et al. (2020). LED flashlight technology facilitates wild meat extraction across the tropics. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 18(9), 489-495. https://doi.org/10.1002/fee.2242

Hunting for wild meat in the tropics provides subsistence and income for millions of people. Methods have remained relatively unchanged since the introduction of shotguns and battery-powered incandescent flashlights, but the short battery life of suc...

Social and biological correlates of wild meat consumption and trade by rural communities in the Jutaí river basin, Central Amazonia (2020)
Journal Article
Rocha El Bizri, H., Morcatty, T., Ferreira, J., Mayor, P., Neto, C., Valsecchi, J., …Fa, J. (2020). Social and biological correlates of wild meat consumption and trade by rural communities in the Jutaí river basin, Central Amazonia. https://doi.org/10.2993/0278-0771-40.2.183

Wild animals are an important source of food and income throughout the Amazon basin, particularly for forest-dependent communities living in the more remote regions. Through interviews in 51 households within 16 communities in the Jutaí River Extract...

Journal Article
Rocha El Bizri, H., Fa, J., Lemos, L., Campos-Silva, J., Neto, A., Valsecchi, J., & Mayor, P. (2020). Involving local communities for effective citizen science: determining game species' reproductive status to assess hunting effects in tropical forests. Journal of Applied Ecology, 58(2), 224-235. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.13633

Involving communities in sustainable wildlife management in tropical forests can ensure food security and livelihoods of millions of forest dwellers that depend on wild meat, and also safeguard hunted species. Mathematical models have been developed...

Fetal bone development in the lowland paca (Cuniculus paca, Rodentia, Cuniculidae) determined using ultrasonography (2020)
Journal Article
da Silva, G., Monteiro, F., Pereira, T., de Matos, S., Andrade, R., & Rocha El Bizri, H. (2020). Fetal bone development in the lowland paca (Cuniculus paca, Rodentia, Cuniculidae) determined using ultrasonography. Journal of Anatomy, 237(1), 105-118. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.13184

Studying the timing of the main events of embryonic and fetal development may clarify the strategies adopted by species to maximize neonatal survival and the consequences of these events for their life history. This study describes bone development d... Read More about Fetal bone development in the lowland paca (Cuniculus paca, Rodentia, Cuniculidae) determined using ultrasonography.
