The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

, 2022 华北豹(Panthera pardus japonensis)作为我国特有的豹亚种,是华北地区森林生态系统中的顶级捕食者之一,在维持生态系统的结构稳定和功能发挥中起着不可或缺的生态作用,但目前国内外对于华北豹种群空间分布及其栖息地选择等基本生态学规律了解依然十分不足,严重限制了科学保护策略的制定。本研究基于自动相机监测数据,应用资源选择函数模型(RSFs)对山西阳城蟒河国家级自然保护区内的华北豹种群空间分布和栖息地选择进行了分析,探讨华北豹的潜在猎物、自然环境 ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Modeling seed germination data to meet biodiversity conservation needs in the Mediterranean
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Workflow to assess the availability and quality of germination data and assign species' thermal risk in the Mediterranean. (a) Assessment of data availability, including the phylogenetic distribution of the number of records (i.e. available germination data); (b) data quality assessment; and (c) assignment of climate risk categories for species that ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

野生动物学报赤狐（Vulpes vulpes）是国家二级重点保护野生动物，也是色达县棘球绦虫（Echinococcus）等恶性疾病的重要传播源，掌握该物种时空利用特征可促进其有效管护。2023年5月—2024年6月，利用红外相机监测四川省甘孜州色达县赤狐活动，并对其栖息地影响因子、适宜栖息地和日活动节律进行分析，结果显示：赤狐的日活动强度分布不均匀（α > 0.042），其在05：00、20：00和24：00出现活动峰值，在09：00—15：00活动较少，呈夜行性（β = 0.09）；年均降水量、土地覆盖类型、

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...
