#Human #activity can be a factor in allowing #sympatry of similar #species. Case-in-point, giant and neotropical otters in the #Amazon.

In this new study, Norris and Michalski (2023) observed that #giant #otters tended to avoid human activity while #neotropical otters did not.

We #influence our #ecosystems in many ways. While not always and inevitably detrimental, we need to be aware of our #impacts.

Interesting new paper on The #Empty #Forest #Syndrome that occurs with the extirpation of large #vertebrates, particularly #predators.

I can see this interacting (negatively, #synergistically) with Pauly's #Shifting #Baseline Syndrome. And is it time to coin a similar conceptual model and terms for the disappearance of #insects and other small #fauna?

Hola 👋🏼 I’m super happy to have joined Mastodon. As a newcomer, here’s a bit about me: I’m a #Uruguayan biologist, doing research in #macroecology and #biodiversityinformatics. Currently, I’m a #postdoc researcher at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague where I study the range dynamics of #Neotropical #carnivores. I’m also the coordinator of #Biodiversidata and the admin of #NaturalistaUY. My interests are diverse but include #OpenScience, #CameraTraps and #ParticipativeResearch. Cheers!
