Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Using camera traps to enhance community-based management of subsistence hunting in the Amazon. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Community‐based management and monitoring of biodiversity has emerged as a cost‐effective strategy for providing credible data, informing decision‐making, and empowering local communities in resource governance and management. However, the establishment of community‐based management of subsistence hunting in the Brazilian Amazon has been ...

Spectacled Flying‐fox conflicts—tucker, totem, taunt and threat 眼镜狐蝠的冲突——食物、图腾、挑战与威胁

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 112-118, September 2023., 2023
Flying‐foxes worldwide have suffered population declines, including the Spectacled Flying‐fox of north‐east Australia which experienced a population crash of over 75% in <15 years. Persuading people that the Spectacled Flying‐fox is important, even vital for the rainforests and tall forests that they love, takes engagement, narrative and story‐telling.

Evaluating the influence of nature connection and values on conservation attitudes at a tropical deforestation frontier

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Inner phenomena, such as personal motivations for pursuing sustainability, may be critical levers for improving conservation outcomes. Most conservation research and policies, however, focus on external phenomena (e.g., ecological change or economic processes). We explored the factors shaping 9 conservation attitudes toward forest and wildlife

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Mycorrhiza‐induced alterations in the spatial structure of stands in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 668-678, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Spatial aggregation patterns represent snapshots of ecological processes that occurred over an extensive period. Such processes can shape both the conspecific and the heterospecific spatial structure of plants across woody habitats.

Drought decreases carbon flux but not transport speed of newly fixed carbon from leaves to sinks in a giant bamboo forest

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1746-1759, July 2025.
In forests dominated by large clonal plants, such as giant moso bamboo, drought can alter the allocation of newly assimilated C within the tissues of source ramet but may not affect its allocation among interconnected ramets or within plant–soil systems.

Plant–microbe interactions drive the rhizosphere microbial assembly and nitrogen cycling in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1274-1287, May 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between plants and soil microorganisms in the rhizosphere are vital for maintaining the nutrient cycle and stability of terrestrial ecosystems. Nitrogen, closely related to carbon (C) cycling and ecosystem productivity, undergoes transformation by soil ...

Combining camera trap surveys and IUCN range maps to improve knowledge of species distributions

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) range maps are widely recognized as authoritative representations of species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data.
