The importance of animal behavior for services

Modulation of ecosystem services by animal personalities

Malcolm L. Hunter et al.

Summary: Research has shown that animal personalities can have a significant impact on shaping ecosystem services, such as pollination, seed dispersal, and regulation of pest species. While some studies have suggested links between animal personality and ecosystem function, further research is needed to deepen our understanding, and it is recommended that managers consider the impact of individual behavioral variation.

How to train your wildlife: A review of predator avoidance training

Megan C. Edwards et al.

Summary: Many studies have shown that translocation projects using captive or captive-bred animals often face low success rates, leading to the need for pre-release behavioural conditioning to encourage natural behaviours and enhance survival post-release. Predator avoidance training is a common technique used to improve prey responses to predators by pairing predator cues with unpleasant stimuli.

Valuing the economic impacts of seed dispersal loss on voluntary carbon markets

Carolina Bello et al.

Summary: This study examines the economic impact of the loss of large frugivores on seed dispersal and carbon sequestration, highlighting their significant contribution to carbon sequestration but lack of recognition in terms of economic value for ecosystem services. The research emphasizes the importance of conserving fruit dispersers and predator communities to ensure the long-term viability of forest carbon sequestration.
