Obstruction of biodiversity conservation by minimum patch size criteria
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Minimum patch size criteria for habitat protection reflect the conservation principle that a single large (SL) patch of habitat has higher biodiversity than several small (SS) patches of the same total area (SL > SS). Nonetheless, this principle is often incorrect, and biodiversity conservation requires placing more emphasis on protection of ...

Use of carrion fly iDNA metabarcoding to monitor invasive and native mammals
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Severely fragmented habitats increase the risk of extirpation of native mammal populations through isolation, increased edge effects, and predation. Therefore, monitoring the movement of mammal populations through anthropogenically altered landscapes can inform conservation. We used metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from carrion

Mesopredators in forest edges 森林边缘地带的中级捕食者
Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 107-118, September 2023., 2023 A key Asian mesopredator (leopards cats) is positively associated with forest edges and oil palm plantations. Abstract Fragments and edges account for most remaining forest habitats globally. Apex predators and megaherbivores often decline in these degraded habitats while smaller generalist omnivores can persist or thrive in forest edges, especially if

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 80-94, June 2023., 2023 The objective of this study is to characterise ecological connectivity for mammals and identify important patches and linkages for connecting urban green spaces for Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Our results demonstrate the potential for Southeast Asian megacities to support biodiversity in the urban context, and the potential for a different kind of ...

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 1369-1386, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Urban greenspace provides citizens with important cultural ecosystem services (CES). Identifying landscape features and land use contexts that facilitate CES delivery is critical for guiding urban greenspace management. However, how landscape features and urban context interact with each other in influencing the CES of greenspaces remains ...

Time‐lagged effects of habitat fragmentation on terrestrial mammals in Madagascar
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened by habitat destruction. As a consequence of habitat destruction, the remaining habitat becomes more fragmented. This results in time‐lagged population extirpations in remaining fragments when these are too small to support populations in the long term.

A landscape‐scale framework to identify refugia from multiple stressors
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022 Abstract From a conservation perspective, quantifying potential refugial capacity has been predominantly focused on climate refugia, which is critical for maintaining the persistence of species and ecosystems. However, protection from other stressors, such as human‐induced changes in fire and hydrology, that cause habitat loss, degradation, and ...

Complex and nonlinear climate‐driven changes in freshwater insect communities over 42 years
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1241-1251, October 2020., 2020 Abstract The ongoing biodiversity crisis becomes evident in the widely observed decline in abundance and diversity of species, profound changes in community structure, and shifts in species’ phenology. Insects are among the most affected groups, with documented decreases in abundance up to 76% in the last 25–30 years in some terrestrial ecosystems ...

Mapping legal authority for terrestrial conservation corridors along streams
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 943-955, August 2020., 2020 Abstract Wildlife corridors aim to promote species’ persistence by connecting habitat patches across fragmented landscapes. Their implementation is limited by patterns of land ownership and complicated by differences in the jurisdictional and regulatory authorities under which lands are managed.
