Predicting long‐term population viability for an imperiled salamander under future climate changes

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated the long‐term viability of 2 reticulated flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) populations in response to multiple future climate change scenarios. We found that there is a high probability of extinction by 2100 under some scenarios, mostly driven by severe droughts and repeated reproductive failure. Conservation actions should focus on

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

When species are lost but functions persist: a trait‐based perspective on Wadden Sea bird diversity dynamics

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity faces several global threats and communities are likely to show complex delayed responses. Accurately measuring these lags is critical to properly understand diversity dynamics. Here, we investigated these delays with minimal data availability and found critical mismatches between the temporal dynamics of taxonomic and functional diversity

Trap‐dependence in capture–recapture studies: empirical evidence in vertebrates and biological meaning

Oikos, EarlyView.
Capture–recapture (CR) models have been used for decades to estimate population size and demographic rates in natural populations from the monitoring of individuals. One of the most frequent deviations from assumptions required in CR studies is the immediate trap‐dependence that corresponds to the correlation between capture events. We review empirical

Too big to miss: body size biases in tetrapod species descriptions and their implications for conservation

Oikos, EarlyView.
While species descriptions are rooted in biological diversity, their timing and patterns have also been influenced by historical, socioeconomic, and perceptual biases. Among these, body size has long been proposed as a factor influencing the timing of species discovery, with larger species assumed to have been described earlier due to their ...
