Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 546-554, December 2025.Desertification is increasing in the Brazilian Semiarid, leading to loss of species and ecosystem services, while precise data on biodiversity distribution and trends are lacking. Public engagement in scientific projects can improve ecosystem protection.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 534-545, December 2025.Implementing ecosystem restoration remains challenging for policymakers and practitioners. Focusing on Rwanda, we used a participatory world‐café approach involving scientists, practitioners, and decision‐makers working on ecosystem restoration to identify emerging challenges and future research priority areas. We identified five critical frontiers for

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 652-664, December 2025.We profiled nutritional and physiological markers in captive sifakas, endangered primates from Madagascar, managed in expansive, non‐native forest enclosures. Variation in many markers reflects freely foraged diets and the energy required to maintain homeostasis under more naturalistic conditions.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 641-651, December 2025.Key Largo woodrats are a small and endangered island species, whose individuals tend to occur in family groups. Isolation from mainland populations, predation, and habitat fragmentation have caused genetic drift, leading to low overall diversity. Here, we found that a major category 4 hurricane promoted genetic diversity in the Key Largo woodrat ...

World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 823-830, December 2025.ABSTRACT Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in the United States, with over 350,000 deaths annually, yet the contribution of neighborhood‐level social determinants of health (SDoH) remains underexplored. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 4.4 million hospitalized patients with sepsis, identified using ICD‐10 codes, leveraging de‐identified ...

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.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.

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.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 ...

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2004 通过野外全面调查、样点调查、样方调查和室内测试分析,对云南长江上游洋派河小流域退化生态系统的人为诱导修复进行了研究。结果显示,有自然恢复条件的退化生态系统,经过4年人为参与的不同措施修复,小流域复合生态系统的组成要素、生态系统结构和功能都得到一定程度改善。生态系统类型增加,较稳定和趋于正向进展演替生态系统的水平分布面积扩大,人为重点修复生态系统的立体垂直结构逐渐显现,生物多样性和生物量增加,土壤理化特性得到改良,土壤流失减轻,森林覆被率提高,修复效果明显。

Coexistence and habitat restoration planning for the reintroduction of Spix's macaw
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.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
