A study by @RiceNatSci ecologist @BeaudrotLydia and collaborators reports for the first time that tropical #mammals living inside protected areas are not spared the effects of human activity even when it occurs outside of the protected boundaries.

Some background: Predator-prey interactions are part of the web of life that sustains the diversity and resilience of our ecosystems. Recent animal declines and food web disruption show the consequences of food webs unravelling
But animal declines aren’t only a new thing...

We show how declines in land mammals have rippled across the web of life by degrading food webs
We chart what we’ve lost, what more we’ll lose if endangered species go extinct, and what potential exists for reversing losses by restoring extant mammals to their historic ranges

What do the diets of ice age mammals tell us about the biodiversity crisis?
Our new research in @ScienceMagazine asks how extinction and range loss have affected land mammal food webs globally over the last 130,000 years 🧵

Plane ticket to Madagascar booked! Super excited to take my lab to the Association for Tropical Biology & Conservation meeting this summer and visit Ranomafana National Park!
