When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 723-787, December 2025.Hyperkeratosis of (a) the footpads and (b) the nasal planum. ABSTRACT Background Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum remains common, and veterinarians do not always follow scientifically sound approaches for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Objectives To provide consensus guidelines for diagnosis and evidence‐based guidelines for

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This paper proposes a ‘relaxed’ point‐count survey method to enhance accessibility and expand geographic coverage by easing these constraints. Surveys can be conducted in diverse locations, including urban areas and travel routes, within flexible timeframes (e.g., 6 h after sunrise or during the evening) and with adaptable spacing between survey points,

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 464-475, September 2025.This study investigates the diversity, conservation status, distribution, and discovery rate of 84 Cyrtodactylus species in Indochina. Despite rising discovery rates, many species are unassessed, with over half unprotected and 90.5% endemic. This study suggests expanding protected areas and implementing an integrated approach to conservation with IUCN ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 381-392, September 2025.Grazing bans improved vegetation but increased predator activity, reducing pheasant nesting success in Giant Panda National Park—highlighting trade‐offs in conservation policy. ABSTRACT Grazing has a profound impact on forest ecosystems and biodiversity.

Fluctuating salinity during development impacts fish life histories
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1848-1865, September 2025.Global freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by salinisation. Salinity levels not only rise but also fluctuate due to extreme climate events and human activities. This study shows that stable elevated salinity accelerates reproduction in a freshwater fish, but fluctuations in salinity reduce reproductive output, with sex‐specific effects on

Simulating the efficacy of wolf–dog hybridization management with individual‐based modeling
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.In the photo, an introgressed adult wolf–dog in the Northern Apennines, Italy, not far from the city of Bologna. Part of a research program, this male has been sterilized and released back in its own pack with a Global Positioning Collar. Abstract Introgressive hybridization between wolves and dogs is a conservation concern due to its potentially ...
