New "Science Advances" paper highlights how wildlife loss threatens forest regeneration in the Congo Basin

Published in Science Advances, the article—“Declines of ebony and ivory are inextricably linked in an African rainforest”—shows that the loss of elephants, key seed dispersers in Afrotropical forests, is threatening the survival of slow-growing hardwoods like ebony. These findings have major implications for forest ecology, biodiversity, and the future of sustainable restoration efforts in the Congo Basin.

Few studies have assessed risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) within African countries. The authors Seth Judson, Kevin Njabo, and Judith Torimiro examine differences in vulnerability to COVID-19 among the ten administrative Regions and two major cities of Cameroon based on epidemiological risk factors and access to healthcare resources.
