Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

The Evolving Concept of the Anthropocene: A Reply to Zalasiewicz et al.

Earth's Future
The claim that the Anthropocene is de facto a new epoch is disputed, along with the suggestion that Earth system transformation from one state to another can be pinned down to a single year. The epoch proposal was formally rejected in 2024 but, crucially,
