On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Exploring the risks and benefits of flexibility in biodiversity offset location in a case study of migratory shorebirds

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Biodiversity offsets aim to counterbalance the residual impacts of development on species and ecosystems. Guidance documents explicitly recommend that biodiversity offset actions be located close to the location of impact because of higher potential for similar ecological conditions, but allowing greater spatial flexibility has been proposed ...

China's wandering elephants: Integrating exceptional movements into conservation planning 中国亚洲象游牧行为的启示:整合特殊运动行为的保护规划

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 40-51, December 2022., 2022
In May–June 2021 a herd of wild Asian elephants attracted global attention when they walked into the skirts of Kunming, hundreds of km from their original home in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China. This unusual behavior puzzled observers and mobilized an unprecedented response from local authorities.

Trends and progress in studying butterfly migration 蝴蝶迁徙行为的研究趋势与进展

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 8-24, December 2022., 2022
We show (i) the potential importance of non‐English‐language literature for understanding butterfly migration globally, (ii) studies are mostly concentrated in North America and Europe with very few from the tropics, (iii) most studies are focused on three species: the Monarch (Danaus plexippus), Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) and Red Admiral (Vanessa ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Conservation grounded in traditional ecological knowledge, culture and hunting

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 256-266, January 2026.
Abstract For millennia, traditional hunting practices have provided a means of subsistence for numerous indigenous peoples worldwide. Not only do managed traditional hunting practices perpetuate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), but they also promote the sustainable utilization of natural resources.

Is the Asian Openbill Migratory? Population Status and Habitat Use in Eastern Nepal 钳嘴鹳是否迁徙？尼泊尔东部地区的种群现状与栖息地利用

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 109-117, September 2025.
We found that the Asian Openbill primarily roosted near waterbodies and frequently used farmland habitats, with significantly higher populations observed during the breeding season. Farmland and wetland areas exhibited a positive effect on the species' habitat use.
