Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Flexible parental care in a songbird correlates with sex‐specific responses to seasonal phenology, mating opportunity and reproductive success

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1178-1193, July 2026.
This population‐comparative study reveals that male and female parents respond differently to social and ecological conditions. This sex‐specific responsive strategy is related to the incongruent parental care systems across populations in Chinese penduline tits.

Symbiotic Germination Technique of an Endangered Epiphytic Orchid Dendrobium sinominutiflorum: A Promising Conservation Application 濒危附生兰科植物勐海石斛 (Dendrobium sinominutiflorum) 的共生萌发技术:一种具有应用前景的保护策略

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 192-204, June 2026.
We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.

Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Spatial segregation and bycatch risk as potential drivers of population trends of wandering albatrosses at South Georgia

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
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

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

Novel Natural History Observations on the Reproductive Biology of King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) From Yunnan Province, China 云南省眼镜王蛇繁殖生物学的野外观察

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 523-526, December 2025.
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 ...
