How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

ABCA12 Frameshift Deletion in Domestic Cats With Ichthyosis Fetalis

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ichthyosis fetalis (IF), also known as harlequin ichthyosis, is a rare and often fatal autosomal recessive congenital skin disorder. It is characterized by thickened, hard skin plaques and deep skin fissures that limit mobility and cause malformations of the eyes, lips and ears.

3D‐Printed Porous High‐Entropy Alloy Boosts Peroxymonosulfate Activation for Long‐Term Organic Pollutant Degradation

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted considerable interest from researchers owing to their tunable chemical compositions, exceptional structural stability, and promising catalytic properties. However, their large‐scale application is often hindered by complex manufacturing techniques and poor durability.

Vaccine Name Framing, Relationship Status, and Fear: Examining Heterosexual Men's Intention to Vaccinate Against Human Papillomavirus Infection

World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Against the backdrop of calling for nonfemale‐oriented promotion of vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV), this study explored three potential names—“HPV Vaccine,” “Cervical Cancer Vaccine,” and “Genital Warts Vaccine”—to promote vaccination against HPV infection among heterosexual men.

Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on
