Supporting conservationists’ mental health through better working conditions
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Biodiversity conservation work can be challenging but rewarding, and both aspects have potential consequences for conservationists’ mental health. Yet, little is known about patterns of mental health among conservationists and its associated workplace protective and risk factors.

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

Retaining natural vegetation to safeguard biodiversity and humanity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Global efforts to deliver internationally agreed goals to reduce carbon emissions, halt biodiversity loss, and retain essential ecosystem services have been poorly integrated. These goals rely in part on preserving natural (e.g., native, largely unmodified) and seminatural (e.g., low intensity or sustainable human use) forests, woodlands, and ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Amphibians are severely affected by climate change, particularly in regions where droughts prevail and water availability is scarce. The extirpation of amphibians triggers cascading effects that disrupt the trophic structure of food webs and ecosystems.

A systematic review of animal personality in conservation science
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Although animal personality research may have applied uses, this suggestion has yet to be evaluated by assessing empirical studies examining animal personality and conservation. To address this knowledge gap, we performed a systematic review of the peer‐reviewed literature relating to conservation science and animal personality.

Challenges and a call to action for protecting European red wood ants
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Red wood ants (RWAs) are a group of keystone species widespread in temperate and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere. Despite this, there is increasing evidence of local declines and extinctions. We reviewed the current protection status of RWAs throughout Europe and their International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threat ...

Defining performance thresholds for effective management of biodiversity within protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Performance thresholds are an important tool for determining successful conservation outcomes. They provide an objective means of defining good ecological condition and have been endorsed as an essential part of best practice in protected area (PA) management within the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Green List of Protected

Identifying and developing effective post‐2020 conservation bridging leaders
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Effective bridging leaders interact within and outside their group to facilitate collaboration required in multistakeholder contexts. This is particularly crucial to community‐based conservation interventions that strive to achieve both ecological and social objectives by actively engaging or devolving decision‐making and management authority ...

A global indicator of species recovery
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Monitoring progress toward meeting global biodiversity goals involves several indicators, including, at the species level, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI) and the Living Planet Index (LPI). However, at present, there is no indicator specifically for tracking species recovery, despite this being ...

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.
