In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle
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

Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Changing Policy Narratives in Addressing Indonesia's Deforestation
ABSTRACT Indonesia's forests stand at the crossroads of economic prosperity and ecological preservation, where the demand for timber and palm oil clashes with the urgent need to protect biodiversity and mitigate climate change. The dual role of Indonesia's forests has led to decades of policy tension, primarily contesting their function as engines of ...

Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States
The global marine aquarium hobby is a multibillion‐dollar industry, largely driven by demand from the United States. Much of this trade occurs online. We web scraped 4 major US‐based e‐commerce platforms selling marine aquarium fish to determine the retail price and source (wild capture, aquaculture, or both) of 13 families of ray‐finned marine fish ...

Here we report three cases of nesting behavior in Yunnan Province, China. Our observations confirmed the presence of multi‐individual participation during the nest guarding, and this behavior was associated with an exceptionally high clutch size. ABSTRACT Although the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) has received considerable conservation attention ...

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.

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 ...
