Exposure of wetlands important for nonbreeding waterbirds to sea-level rise in the Mediterranean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Sea‐level rise (SLR) is expected to cause major changes to coastal wetlands, which are among the world's most vulnerable ecosystems and are critical for nonbreeding waterbirds. Because strategies for adaptation to SLR, such as nature‐based solutions and designation of protected areas, can locally reduce the negative effects of coastal flooding

Association of reproductive traits with captive‐ versus wild‐sourced birds in trade

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The wildlife trade is a billion‐dollar global business, involving millions of people, thousands of species, and hundreds of millions of individual organisms. Unravelling whether trade targets reproductively distinct species and whether this preference varies between captive‐ and wild‐sourced species is a crucial question.

Threatened species are disproportionately important interactors in a seed dispersal network in Southeast Asia 东南亚地区濒危物种在种子散布网络中扮演着关键性角色

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 25-39, December 2022., 2022
The rainforests of Southeast Asia have a high diversity of animals, many of which eat fruit and disperse the seeds of forest plants. Several large‐bodied species occur in these forests; these animals are predicted to have especially important seed dispersal roles but are also among the species most threatened by defaunation.

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Habitat‐based biodiversity assessment for ecosystem accounting in the Murray–Darling Basin

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Understanding how biodiversity is changing over space and time is crucial for well‐informed decisions that help retain Earth's biological heritage over the long term. Tracking changes in biodiversity through ecosystem accounting provides this important information in a systematic way and readily enables linking to other relevant environmental ...

Unravelling the processes between phenotypic plasticity and population dynamics in migratory birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 5, Page 983-995, May 2022., 2022
This work highlights the critical role of the stopover stage of northward migration in the influence of migration tactics and population dynamics of migratory birds across the whole annual cycle. The authors also demonstrate the key processes linking individual migration tactics and population dynamics.

Prioritizing forest management actions to benefit marine habitats in data‐poor regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Land‐use change is considered one of the greatest human threats to marine ecosystems globally. Given limited resources for conservation, we adapted and scaled up a spatially explicit, linked land–sea decision support tool using open access global geospatial data sets and software to inform the prioritization of future forest management ...

Benefits of protected areas for nonbreeding waterbirds adjusting their distributions under climate warming

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 834-845, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Climate warming is driving changes in species distributions and community composition. Many species have a so‐called climatic debt, that is, shifts in range lag behind shifts in temperature isoclines. Inside protected areas (PAs), community changes in response to climate warming can be facilitated by greater colonization rates by warm‐dwelling

Trends and knowledge gaps in field research investigating effects of anthropogenic noise

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 115-129, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Anthropogenic noise is a globally widespread sensory pollutant, recognized as having potentially adverse effects on function, demography, and physiology in wild animals. Human population growth and associated changes in urbanization, transportation, and resource extraction all contribute to anthropogenic noise and are predicted to increase in ...
