Conserving the evolutionary history of birds

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract In the midst of the sixth mass extinction, limited resources are forcing conservationists to prioritize which species and places will receive conservation action. Evolutionary distinctiveness measures the isolation of a species on its phylogenetic tree.

Region‐wide retreats from lower elevations of range‐restricted birds across the Northern Andes

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Local studies show upslope shifts in the distribution of tropical birds in response to warming temperatures. Unanswered is whether these upward shifts occur regionally across many species. We considered a nearly 2000‐km length of the Northern Andes, where deforestation, temperature, and extreme weather events have increased during the past ...

Effects of forest fragmentation on avian breeding activity

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Biodiversity declines and ecosystem decay follow forest fragmentation; initially, abundant species may become rare or be extirpated. Underlying mechanisms behind delayed extirpation of certain species following forest fragmentation are unknown.

At a fine scale, hardwood patches support wildlife diversity in longleaf pine woodlands 小尺度阔叶林斑块支持长叶松林地的野生动物多样性

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 71-78, June 2023., 2023
Oaks are often removed as part of longleaf pine restoration; however, it is unclear if oak patches produce important resources for native wildlife. We studied wildlife use of the transition between longleaf pine woodlands and hardwood hammocks. We found these areas support a variety of wildlife species and future management and restoration of longleaf ...

Threatened species are disproportionately important interactors in a seed dispersal network in Southeast Asia 东南亚地区濒危物种在种子散布网络中扮演着关键性角色

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 25-39, December 2022., 2022
The rainforests of Southeast Asia have a high diversity of animals, many of which eat fruit and disperse the seeds of forest plants. Several large‐bodied species occur in these forests; these animals are predicted to have especially important seed dispersal roles but are also among the species most threatened by defaunation.

Using land‐use history and multiple baselines to determine bird responses to cocoa agroforestry

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Agroforests can play an important role in biodiversity conservation in complex landscapes. A key factor distinguishing among agroforests is land‐use history – whether agroforests are established inside forests or on historically forested but currently open lands.

A quantitative global review of species population monitoring

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Species monitoring, defined here as the repeated, systematic collection of data to detect long‐term changes in the populations of wild species, is a vital component of conservation practice and policy. We created a database of nearly 1200 schemes, ranging in start date from 1800 to 2018, to review spatial, temporal, taxonomic, and ...

Trends in seabird breeding populations across the Great Barrier Reef

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 846-858, June 2021., 2021
Abstract The Great Barrier Reef is an iconic ecosystem, known globally for its rich marine biodiversity that includes many thousands of tropical breeding seabirds. Despite indications of localized declines in some seabird species from as early as the mid‐1990s, trends in seabird populations across the reef have never been quantified.

Evaluating protected areas’ coverage of threats to terrestrial biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are vital for biodiversity conservation and have expanded globally. However, increasing pressures on biodiversity make it difficult to achieve conservation goals. Using threat probability maps based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List and the World Database of Protected Areas, we analyzed the ...

Exploring the Impact of a Naturalist Training Camp on Biodiversity Conservation Willingness and Mental Well‐Being 博物达人训练营对参与者生物多样性保护意愿和心理健康的影响

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 20-32, March 2025.
This study examined the impact of a 9‐day naturalist training camp at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden on participants' conservation attitudes and mental well‐being. Findings showed significant improvements in biodiversity knowledge, social connectedness, and naturalist identity, which contributed to increased environmental stewardship and ...
