Climate suitability as a predictor of conservation translocation failure
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1473-1481, December 2020., 2020 Abstract The continuing decline and loss of biodiversity has caused an increase in the use of interventionist conservation tools, such as translocation. However, many translocation attempts fail to establish viable populations, with poor release site selection often flagged as an inhibitor of success.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 442-463, September 2025.In this study, we analyze the conservation status of Ethiopia's amphibian and reptile diversity in terms of coverage with protected areas and global representation in conservation breeding facilities. We identify conservation gaps and suggest priorities for improvement.

Applying Bergmann's Rule to Species Conservation Planning 贝格曼法则在物种保护规划中的应用
Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 120-125, June 2025.Although Bergman's rule has extensively been studied, its implications in species conservation have not been clear, especially in the context of climate change (global warming). Here, we discuss the potential applications of the “rule” based on IUCN's (2022) Red List and suggest species' body size to be an important ecological indicator in future long ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 342-352, December 2024.Human activity, particularly the increase in forested areas across the western Mediterranean, has impacted squamate diversity. This study investigated the impact of canopy cover on squamate assemblages, finding the highest diversity in areas with moderate tree cover.

Scale of unregulated international trade in Australian reptiles and amphibians
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.Abstract Reptiles and amphibians are popular in the exotic pet trade, where Australian species are valued for their rarity and uniqueness. Despite a near‐complete ban on the export of Australian wildlife, smuggling and subsequent international trade frequently occur in an unregulated and unmonitored manner.

Creating a more inclusive approach to wildlife trade management
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.Abstract Global wildlife trade involves a diverse array of species. Although sustainable trade underpins livelihoods for communities worldwide, unsustainable trade, whether legal or illegal, threatens thousands of species and can lead to extinctions.

A multitaxonomic assessment of Natura 2000 effectiveness across European biogeographic regions
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) protected area (PA) network is a crucial tool to limit biodiversity loss in Europe. Despite covering 18% of the European Union's (EU) land area, its effectiveness at conserving biodiversity across taxa and biogeographic regions remains uncertain.

Impact on species' online attention when named after celebrities
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, April 2024.Abstract Celebrities can generate substantial attention and influence public interest in species. Using a large‐scale examination of publicly available data, we assessed whether species across 6 taxonomic groups received more page views on Wikipedia when the species was named after a celebrity than when it was not.

野生动物学报, 1982 一提起野生动物,人们自然而然地联想到大熊猫、金丝猴、野骆驼……,或者鸟类中的白马鸡、红腹角雉……。可是,对于脊椎动物五大家族（严格说,另外还有较小的——类圆口动物）中的其余三类,就较少被人注意。其实,鱼、两栖和爬行动物的种数,比鸟、兽的总和要多出一倍左右,它们对人的贡献并不逊色,在某些方面甚至还有独到之处。如果说,鸟、兽和鱼都各有一些长期以来已为人类驯化的种类,那么,在两栖和爬行动物中,还没有一种称得上是家养的动物。下面 ...
