Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 23-31, March 2026.American badgers, a medium‐sized carnivore occurring in much of North America, are important predators in prairie landscapes though our understanding of their habitat use requirements in these areas is unclear. We used a multi‐scale approach to understand American badger habitat use at both local and landscape scales.
