Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Assessing and strengthening community‐based coastal governance
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Community‐based coastal governance is essential for biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods, yet many communities continue to face significant challenges in establishing and sustaining effective governance systems. We sought to improve understanding of the current status of community‐based coastal governance across five countries

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Modeling seed germination data to meet biodiversity conservation needs in the Mediterranean
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Workflow to assess the availability and quality of germination data and assign species' thermal risk in the Mediterranean. (a) Assessment of data availability, including the phylogenetic distribution of the number of records (i.e. available germination data); (b) data quality assessment; and (c) assignment of climate risk categories for species that ...

Learner‐Focused Strategy Instruction From the Teachers’ and the Learners’ Perspective
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous large‐scale quantitative studies have been conducted to yield a macro‐level picture of the effectiveness of strategy instruction. However, little is understood about learners' actual processing of strategy instruction and interaction with the teachers delivering it.
