Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Peri‐urban forest monitoring requires indicators of vegetation damage. An example is the sacred fir (Abies religiosa) forests surrounding Mexico City, which have been heavily exposed to tropospheric ozone, a harmful pollutant, for over 4 decades.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2843-2860, September 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Drylands are mainly structured by both vascular plants and biological soil crusts (biocrusts), the latter often regarded as a self‐organizing component of these ecosystems.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 192-204, June 2026.We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Robust metrics for quantifying and comparing resistance and recovery in experimental studies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 6-14, January 2026.Abstract Various indices have been developed to experimentally quantify resistance and recovery (two components of engineering resilience) in response to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. This diversity complicates the selection of appropriate metrics for comparing resilience across ecosystems and studies.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3255-3268, November 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis (BRH) of Elton posits that diverse communities are more resistant to biological invasions. While the effects of climatic stresses and human disturbances on community invasibility have been extensively studied individually, their combined

Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 491-502, September 2025.The impact of various restoration strategies on biodiversity and biomass in degraded savannas was evaluated across different elevation gradients. Natural regeneration co‐benefits the increasing in biodiversity and biomass in savannas, while active restoration exhibits altitude‐dependent efficacy and lower biomass accumulation capacity.
