Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...

云南铜壁关自然保护区现状及发展对策

野生动物学报, 2007
本文论述了铜壁关自然保护区的现状、存在问题及发展对策。铜壁关保护区地理位置特殊,区系复杂,物种丰富,特有种多,对我国生物多样性保护具有十分重要的意义。但保护区至今尚未升为国家级,保护区级别低、缺乏专业技术人员、管理体制不顺等问题困扰着保护区的进一步发展。建议成立保护区管理局,理顺管理体制,扩大保护区面积,尽快升为国家级保护区,进行更为严格的管理。

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

Identifying priority areas for conservation to promote connectivity and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.

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.

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract 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 ...

Improvements for better scaling of locally managed marine areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract To protect and restore ecosystems at the speed and scale required to meet current environmental challenges, a greater understanding of how conservation initiatives spread from existing to new adopters is required. According to the diffusion of innovation theory, positive adopter‐to‐peer communication is a powerful driver of innovation spread ...

Coexistence and habitat restoration planning for the reintroduction of Spix's macaw

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) is one of the world's most endangered species. Native to the Caatinga of northeastern Brazil—a region marked by significant socioeconomic vulnerability—the species was considered extinct in the wild in 2000. A reintroduction project, however, returned it to its natural habitat in 2022. The long‐term success of

Bright spots for advancing ecological understanding and conservation decision‐making

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A lot can be learned by studying bright spots—defined as unexpected positive outcomes. In fields like public health, education, and oncology, identifying factors behind bright spots reveals previously unknown drivers of success that can be replicated elsewhere.
