Are Galliformes of the High Himalayas Well Protected? Identifying Conservation Priority Areas Using an Assemblage‐Level Approach 高喜马拉雅地区的鸡形目鸟类是否得到了有效保护?利用群落水平方法确定优先保护区域

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study investigates distribution patterns of Galliforms in the Indian Himalayas, focusing on factors influencing their occurrence, regions of high diversity and endemism, and their overlap with protected areas. Our study highlights the need for assemblage‐level conservation strategies in high Himalaya which primarily relies on snow leopard‐focused ...

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

CHINA’S LAND FINANCE AS ACTIVE MODE OF LAND DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY: Reality, History and Prospects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 191-220, January 2026.
Abstract Henry George advocated for capturing land value increases for public ends. The active approach of public authorities organizing and financing land development can help capture higher land value increases, as Hartman and Spit indicate. However, this approach hardly happens in developing countries, where the coalition of private developers and ...

US Foreign Policy and the Gulf States: Changing Dynamics in a Multipolar World

open access: yesWorld Affairs, Volume 188, Issue 4, Winter 2025.
ABSTRACT This article focuses on US foreign policy toward the Gulf from Obama's Pivot to Asia to the initial period of the second Trump administration. It situates the role of the US within the broader context of the global energy transition and the Gulf states as geopolitical actors in a multipolar world order.

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Using online reports of seahorse seizures to track their illegal trade

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is a persistent and extensive threat to global biodiversity. Hundreds of marine fish species are subject to regulation under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), but it is unclear how much protection species gain from CITES because information on marine fish ...

Improvements for better scaling of locally managed marine areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract To protect and restore ecosystems at the speed and scale required to meet current environmental challenges, a greater understanding of how conservation initiatives spread from existing to new adopters is required. According to the diffusion of innovation theory, positive adopter‐to‐peer communication is a powerful driver of innovation spread ...

Spatial Phylogenetic Analysis of Chinese Lizards: Insights Into Ecological Drivers and Conservation Gaps 中国蜥蜴系统发育的空间分析:生态驱动因素与保护空缺

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 430-441, September 2025.
Our study identifies southern China, including mountainous regions and islands, as key areas rich in phylogenetic diversity, and phylogenetic endemism of lizards that are currently under‐protected. Current protected areas however do not adequately cover regions that are critical for preserving the evolutionary history of lizards.
