Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

Community-informed and codesigned research to understand the impacts of railways on wildlife. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Trains cause mortalities of several animal species, but the ecological impacts of railways are understudied. Most research on wildlife–train collisions has focused on large mammals, but understanding railway‐specific risks for underrepresented taxa, especially vulnerable species, is important for developing effective mitigation strategies ...

Evaluating protected areas' coverage of threats to terrestrial biodiversity. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Protected areas (PAs) are vital for biodiversity conservation and have expanded globally. However, increasing pressures on biodiversity make it difficult to achieve conservation goals. Using threat probability maps based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List and the World Database of Protected Areas, we analyzed the ...

Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States. [PDF]
Conserv BiolThe global marine aquarium hobby is a multibillion‐dollar industry, largely driven by demand from the United States. Much of this trade occurs online. We web scraped 4 major US‐based e‐commerce platforms selling marine aquarium fish to determine the retail price and source (wild capture, aquaculture, or both) of 13 families of ray‐finned marine fish ...

Spatial segregation and bycatch risk as potential drivers of population trends of wandering albatrosses at South Georgia. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...
