Integrating adult occurrence and reproduction data to identify conservation measures for amphibians. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Monitoring programs are pivotal to establishing sound management. Due to economic, logistic, and time limitations, monitoring programs often overlook differences among life‐history stages. However, species occurrence does not necessarily mean population viability, and it is unclear to what extent monitoring programs that do not consider ...

Island restoration to rebuild seabird populations and amplify coral reef functioning. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems, but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradications and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrient transfers between ...

Exposure of wetlands important for nonbreeding waterbirds to sea-level rise in the Mediterranean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Sea‐level rise (SLR) is expected to cause major changes to coastal wetlands, which are among the world's most vulnerable ecosystems and are critical for nonbreeding waterbirds. Because strategies for adaptation to SLR, such as nature‐based solutions and designation of protected areas, can locally reduce the negative effects of coastal flooding

Global drivers of the conservation–invasion paradox

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Identifying priority areas for conservation to promote connectivity and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Dactyliform appendage contributes to delayed selfing in the diminutive orchid Stigmatodactylus sikokianus

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 894-900, July 2025.
Understanding plant reproductive strategies is vital for conserving endangered species. This study reveals a novel self‐pollination mechanism in the diminutive orchid Stigmatodactylus sikokianus, facilitated by the movement of a finger‐like appendage beneath the stigma.

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 ...

高原鼠兔繁殖季节血液指标、血气及性激素变化

野生动物学报, 2017
2014年5月至2014年10月间,在青海省海北自治州祁连县野牛沟乡达玉村附近,从动态的角度研究高原鼠兔在其生境地繁殖季节前后血常规、血气和性激素的变化,并与繁殖期间的各种环境因子相关联,探讨鼠兔繁殖策略对环境及行为的响应。结果表明,可将该地区高原鼠兔的繁殖期分为过渡恢复阶段(5月以前); 繁殖旺盛阶段(5月下旬～7月中旬); 繁殖抑制阶段(7月下旬～9月下旬); 繁殖静止阶段(10月及10月以后)4个阶段,不同的繁殖阶段高原鼠兔在体重、繁殖指数、血常规指标、血气指标、睾丸相对重量 ...

圈养蓝鹇和白鹇繁殖行为的时间节律观察

野生动物学报, 2013
采用瞬时取样法对圈养的2对蓝鹇和2组白鹇繁殖期行为的时间节律进行了初步研究,分别选择蓝鹇和白鹇繁殖行为较为明显的时期,各记录15 d,即蓝鹇为2008年3月30日～4月15日（12、13日因故未观察）,白鹇为2008年4月16～30日;每天观察12 h,即从7:00～19:00。结果表明第一组蓝鹇和白鹇的繁殖行为都明显少于第二组蓝鹇和白鹇,蓝鹇和白鹇的繁殖行为的发生次数随日期出现波动,两物种繁殖行为的高峰多在早晚时段。蓝鹇和白鹇的产蛋周期分别为3～4 d和1～3 d ...
