Temperature and exudativory as drivers of the marmoset (Callithrix spp.) daily activity period. American Journal of Primatology, 84(6), e23341. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23341

Primates are affected by fluctuations in ambient temperatures, mostly through thermoregulatory costs and changes in the availability of food. In the present study, we investigate whether the ambient temperature and proxies of food availability affect...

What is better for animal conservation translocation programmes: Soft‐ or hard‐release? A phylogenetic meta‐analytical approach (2021)
Journal Article
Resende, P. S., Viana‐Junior, A. B., Young, R. J., & Azevedo, C. S. (2021). What is better for animal conservation translocation programmes: Soft‐ or hard‐release? A phylogenetic meta‐analytical approach. Journal of Applied Ecology, 58(6), 1122-1132. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.13873

Animal conservation translocation is an important tool available to conservation biologists to address problems of isolated, declining or endangered populations. This approach includes both captive‐bred and free‐ranging origin animals, which are used... Read More about What is better for animal conservation translocation programmes: Soft‐ or hard‐release?

Animal personality and conservation : basics for inspiring new research (2021)
Journal Article
de Azevedo, C., & Young, R. (2021). Animal personality and conservation : basics for inspiring new research. Animals, 11(4), e1019. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani11041019

The number of animal species threatened with extinction are increasing every year, and biologists are conducting animal translocations, as one strategy, to try to mitigate this situation. Furthermore, researchers are evaluating methods to increase tr... Read More about Animal personality and conservation : basics for inspiring new research.

Do captive golden mantella frogs recognise wild conspecifics calls? Responses to the playback of captive and wild calls (2021)
Journal Article
Passos, L., Garcia, G., & Young, R. (2021). Do captive golden mantella frogs recognise wild conspecifics calls? Responses to the playback of captive and wild calls. #Journal not on list, 9(1), 49-54. https://doi.org/10.19227/jzar.v9i1.476

With so many species being threatened with extinction, captive breeding programmes are becoming an important aspect of ex-situ conservation. Captive populations are important for species conservation and for reintroduction back into the wild. Some of... Read More about Do captive golden mantella frogs recognise wild conspecifics calls?

Changes on soundscapes reveal impacts of wildfires in the fauna of a Brazilian savanna (2021)
Journal Article
Duarte, M., Sousa-Lima, R., Young, R., Vasconcelos, M., Bittencourt, E., Scarpelli, M., …Pieretti, N. (2021). Changes on soundscapes reveal impacts of wildfires in the fauna of a Brazilian savanna. Science of the Total Environment, 769, 144988. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.144988

Wildfire is a natural process in Brazilian savannas, but human activities alter fire regimes and threaten biodiversity. In this study, we used an ecoacoustics approach to assess fauna responses and recovery after wildfire in a Brazilian savanna. Six...

Biophony in a noisy tropical urban forest fragment (2021)
Journal Article
Gonçalves Santos, S., Pieretti, N., Young, R., & Duarte, M. (2021). Biophony in a noisy tropical urban forest fragment. Biota Colombiana, 22(1), 96-107. https://doi.org/10.21068/c2021.v22n01a06

Anthropogenic noise, which is part of an urban soundscape, can negatively affect the behaviour of wild animals. Here we investigated how biophony (animal sounds) was affected by noise in an urban Brazilian forest frag-ment. Our hypothesis was that no...
