Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework
Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Religious Facilities in Japanese Public Urban Planning: A Case Study of Tama New Town
ABSTRACT This study investigates the underexamined role of religious facilities in Japanese public urban planning through a case study of Tama New Town (Tama NT), one of Japan's largest postwar residential developments. While it is commonly assumed that religious facilities are excluded from public planning due to Japan's constitutional separation of ...
