Translating habitat class to land cover to map area of habitat of terrestrial vertebrates. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) is defined as the “habitat available to a species, that is, habitat within its range” and is calculated by subtracting areas of unsuitable land cover and elevation from the range. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Habitats Classification Scheme provides information on species habitat ...

Current breeding distributions and predicted range shifts under climate change in two subspecies of Black-tailed Godwits in Asia. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 Due to climate change, the breeding range of the two Asian subspecies of Black‐tailed Godwit would shift northward in the future, accompanied by a significant decline in suitable breeding range size. Abstract Habitat loss and shifts associated with climate change threaten global biodiversity, with impacts likely to be most pronounced at high latitudes.

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract 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 ...

Effects of snake fungal disease (ophidiomycosis) on the skin microbiome across two major experimental scales. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly recognized as a significant threat to global biodiversity conservation. Elucidating the relationship between pathogens and the host microbiome could lead to novel approaches for mitigating disease impacts.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 201-213, December 2023., 2023 Livestock disturbances decreased the area of suitable habitat of forest pheasants by 14.28% in 7 years. Livestock activities remarkably increased the nest failure rate (by 2.18 times) of forest pheasants. Abstract The degradation and fragmentation of natural habitats, driven largely by anthropogenic activities such as grazing, represent growing ...

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 71-78, June 2023., 2023 Oaks are often removed as part of longleaf pine restoration; however, it is unclear if oak patches produce important resources for native wildlife. We studied wildlife use of the transition between longleaf pine woodlands and hardwood hammocks. We found these areas support a variety of wildlife species and future management and restoration of longleaf ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Many species are restricted to a marginal or suboptimal fraction of their historical range due to anthropogenic impacts, making it hard to interpret their ecological preferences from modern‐day data alone. However, inferring past ecological states is limited by the availability of robust data and biases in historical archives, posing a ...

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.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.
