Environmental racism and air pollution: Pre and post the COVID‐19 economic shutdown

Review of Policy Research, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Decades of research demonstrates that minoritized groups are disproportionately affected by swathes of harmful pollutants, including air pollution, even controlling for low income. Would significantly reducing individual car traffic help reduce the EJ gap?

Global drivers of the conservation–invasion paradox

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually and have rarely evaluated performance across multiple ecosystems either in an individual MPA or across an MPA network.

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Using online reports of seahorse seizures to track their illegal trade

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...

A global indicator of species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring progress toward meeting global biodiversity goals involves several indicators, including, at the species level, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI) and the Living Planet Index (LPI). However, at present, there is no indicator specifically for tracking species recovery, despite this being ...

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Identifying priority areas for conservation to promote connectivity and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.
