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

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
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 ...

Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Complementary Hotspots of Vegetation Diversity in Andean Patagonian Forests

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Examining spatial relationships among three vegetation diversity metrics—species richness (S), rarity‐weighted richness (RWR) and local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD) as a measure of compositional uniqueness and quantifying the spatial congruence of their hotspots to assess conservation value.

Impacts of Species Introductions on the Trait Diversity of Interacting Avian Frugivores and Fleshy‐Fruited Plants Depend on Native Trait Diversity

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The introduction of non‐native species to native ecological communities by humans is a major driver of global biodiversity change. Studying how species introductions influence interacting species is essential to understanding possible functional consequences of global change because biotic interactions are ecologically crucial.

Adaptive Livelihoods in Andean Pastoralism: Community-Based Institutions, Peatland Management, and Migration in Sajama National Park, Bolivia

open access: yesMountain Research and Development
This article examines livelihood practices among Indigenous Aymara pastoral communities in Sajama National Park (SNP) on the Bolivian Altiplano. Pastoralist livelihoods within SNP are based on the management of Andean camelids—llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Vicugna pacos)—and the high-elevation peatlands, known locally as bofedales, that provide ...
