Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Improving efficiency in conservation planning by modeling species‐specific responses to threat abatement

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reversing ongoing biodiversity loss requires effectively managing anthropogenic threats. Although conservation actions can mitigate these threats, prioritizing and targeting such actions remain challenging because species respond differently depending on the nature of the threats and their biological traits.

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

DNA barcoding uncovers two putative new species in Trachelyopterus (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trachelyopterus is a cryptic genus within the Neotropical catfish family Auchenipteridae with a complex history of taxonomic revisions. Despite the notable morphological and genetic similarities among its species, some studies suggest that the genus harbours greater diversity than is currently recognized, including additional species yet to be

Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy of the First Autogenous Aeromonas hydrophila Vaccine for Piaractus brachypomus

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeromonas hydrophila is a major zoonotic bacterial pathogen responsible for haemorrhagic septicemia, substantial economic losses in aquaculture and increasing antimicrobial resistance among field isolates. It is also one of the main bacterial species associated with mortality outbreaks in pirapitinga, Piaractus brachypomus, culture in the ...
