Abstract:
In recent times, the diet and foraging behaviors of wild animals are influenced by anthropogenic foods since they often share their natural habitats with humans. We investigated the composition, preferred food item, contribution of anthropogenic food at garbage dump sites, and the seasonal effects on the diet of Lowe’s monkeys (Cercopithecus lowei) in the Duasidan Monkey Sanctuary, Ghana. We found that Lowe’s monkeys fed on 13 plant species, as well as anthropogenic foods and invertebrates. The composition of plant diet changed seasonally: Lowe’s monkeys relied more on buds in the dry season w

Abstract:
Urban populations of herring gulls (Larus argentatus) are increasing and causing human-wildlife conflict by exploiting anthropogenic resources. Gulls that breed in urban areas rely on varying amounts of terrestrial anthropogenic foods (e.g., domestic refuse, agricultural and commercial waste) to feed themselves. However, with the onset of hatching, many parent gulls switch to sourcing more marine than anthropogenic or terrestrial foods to provision their chicks. Although anthropogenic foods may meet chick calorific requirements for growth and development, some such foods (e.g., bread) may have

Abstract Anthropogenic foods are utilized by many animals around the world, and these resources could impact dietary preferences and intra- and interspecific interactions. Under a quasi-Before-After-Control-Impact experimental design, we assessed how dingoes (Canis dingo) responded to a decline in anthropogenic foods in the Tanami Desert, central Australia. We did so by assessing dingo diets close to and away from human influence during a period when food waste was available at two rubbish tips, and then during a period when food waste was restricted at one of the tips.

Abstract:
Increasing human–bear conflicts are a growing concern, and managers often assume bears in developed areas are food-conditioned. We examined the relationship between human–bear conflicts and food conditioning by analyzing isotopic values of hair from black bears (Ursus americanus floridanus) involved in research (n = 34) and conflicts (n = 45). We separated research bears into wild and developed subgroups based on the impervious surface within their home ranges and separated conflict bears based on observations of human food consumption (anthropogenic = observations; management = no observation

Urbanization is one of the most widespread and extreme examples of habitat alteration.

One understudied form of anthropogenic food is refuse from restaurants, which can alter wildlife populations and, in turn, entire wildlife communities by providing a novel and stable food source.

Recent policies on the ban of fishing discards and the closure of open-air landfills are expected to reduce amount of predictable anthropogenic food subsidies (PAFS) for seabirds. To forecast the ecological consequences of these policies, it is necessary to understand the influence that each of these resources has on ecological parameters and how this can be mediated by density-dependent mechanisms. Besides, for those species exploiting both types of resources, it is important to consider whether or not their effects act synergistically. Finally, it is also important to understand how the ecol

The underlying causes that link species diversity to ecosystem functioning include species niche complementarity, facilitative interactions, or selection effects, which cause process rates to be enhanced in more diverse communities.

Abstract:
Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the economy of the Central Black Earth Region. The Voronezh region is distinguished by a particularly high index of agricultural production, which is facilitated by several factors at once - favorable climatic conditions inherent in the temperate climatic zone and the widespread distribution of various types of chernozems throughout its territory. As a result of the activation of human economic and production activities, the scale of the use of chemicals in the agricultural and food industries is growing, and illiterate farming disrupts the p

Abstract:
In this study, a scenario analysis of risk associated with regular excursions to the Suva Planina Mountain, Serbia, for adults and children over a period of five years is performed because of the high concentrations of certain heavy metals in the soil. Additionally, the source of contamination was evaluated by identifying potential anthropogenic influences as well as products of natural geological processes. For that purpose, the Pollution Load Index, Geoaccumulation Index, and Hakanson contamination factor are used.

Based on the assumptions of many researchers, global warming and anthropogenic factors such as pollution, transporting and trading, as well as invasionism, lessepsianism, endangerism effect negatively and will continue to effect aquatic populations and their existence in the ecosystem and related habitats. Thus, it may be stated that climate warming and anthropogenic factors will certainly cause extinction of some aquatic organisms as well as fish species in the end, by 2080 or 2100. Considering economic impacts of losing some species, the new areas of fishing should be decided to sustain curr

Abstract:
Agrobiodiversity, as the variety of plant, animal and microorganism species within the agroecosystem, is a key factor in preserving sustainable and safe food systems. The paper studies the connection between agrobiodiversity and food production, with special reference to the influence of genetic and species diversity on the nutritional quality and food health safety. Using an analytical and comparative approach, the paper examines how the loss of agrobiodiversity, caused by intensive agricultural production and other anthropogenic influences, negatively effects on food health safety.

Sustainability, over the years, has become one of the main concerns of modern society (PIRES et al., 2014). In addition, with population growth, increased demand for protein and the impacts caused by anthropogenic action continuously modifying the environment (SILVA, 2018), one of the main challenges of the agricultural sectors is a sustainable production of food, aiming at food security and reducing the environmental impacts generated by the activity (FAO, 2018). Therefore, for sustainable development to occur, it is necessary that there is a harmonization between economic development, preser

Ukraine today is a military-technogenically tense region of Europe with negative consequences for the environment generally and the soil cover in particular. Given the fact that Ukrainian agriculture is a key factor in global food supply (the World Food Program receives 40% of its wheat from Ukraine), the problem takes on a global significance.

Abstract:
The connections between biodiversity and human health have become a focus of recent attention and research as anthropogenic causes have led to an unprecedented loss of global biodiversity. Using the World Health Organization’s Ecosystems program, this module reviews biodiversity-human health linkages, both direct (e.g., food) and indirect (e.g., waste removal), as well as the potential conflicts of interest between biodiversity conservation and human health (e.g., reduction in disease vectors from forest clear-cutting). These linkages are not clear-cut and often leave much to consider in plann

Abstract:
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) growing in estuarine and coastal marine systems provides crucial ecosystem functions ranging from sediment stabilization to habitat and food for specific species. SAV systems, however, are sensitive to a number of environmental factors, both anthropogenic and natural. The most common limiting factors are light limitation, water quality, and salinity, as reported widely across the literature. These factors are controlled by a number of complex processes, however, varying greatly between systems and SAV populations. This report seeks to conduct an exhaustive ex

Abstract:
Stands of emergent vegetation such as the common reed (Phragmites australis) and members of the genus Typha are a key part of many freshwater and brackish shoreline ecosystems. Similar to trees in a forest, these macrophytes provide structural complexity, a source of food, and shelter from harsher abiotic conditions supporting a broad range of flora and fauna. However, in recent years, anthropogenic activities have facilitated these species to dominate their native ecosystems, forming increasingly homogenous reed beds, and furthermore to invade many non native habitats.
