Evaluating the empirical basis for threat attribution in the IUCN Red List
Abstract Understanding the impacts of different threats on species is key to successful conservation interventions and policies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses threats to species, and the organization's Red List of Threatened Species is a key conservation tool.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Bromelicolous Habit and Phoresy of Ostracoda in a Species of Treefrog From the Brazilian Cerrado
ABSTRACT Some plants develop phytotelmata, specialized structures that retain water and form small aquatic ecosystems harbouring diverse organisms. Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) are classic examples, as their leaf axils provide suitable habitats for bacteria, algae, protozoa, invertebrates and vertebrates, including anurans.
