Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

Carbon Emissions From Low‐Order Streams in a Tropical, High‐Elevation, Peatland Ecosystem Are Mediated by Catchment Morphology

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Inland waters emit large amounts of carbon and are key players in the global carbon budget. Particularly high rates of carbon emissions have been reported in streams draining mountains, tropical regions, and peatlands. However, few studies have examined the spatial variability of CO2 concentrations and fluxes occurring within these systems ...

Conservation and management implications of the effects of wildfire on a threatened Eastern Iberian Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus witherbyi) population

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 1, Page 196-211, January 2025.
Wetland degradation worldwide has led to fragmentation and isolation of diminished populations that are now more vulnerable to disturbance. Wildfires affecting wetlands can have major impacts on vegetation structure and associated waterbird communities, but rapid recovery of the initial state of vegetation cover after fire due to fast emergent ...

Blind shots: non‐natural mortality counteracts conservation efforts of a threatened waterbird

Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 293-307, June 2024.
The assessment of the marbled teal population reinforcement programme in Spain carrying out releases of captive‐bred birds showed that 60% of the mortality is due to non‐natural causes, mostly illegal shooting. To establish a self‐sustaining population, non‐natural mortality should be reduced by 40% and management measures such as prosecution of ...

An impact evaluation of conservation investments targeting long‐distance migratory species

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract We evaluated the impact of a philanthropic program investing in the conservation of sites along the Pacific Americas Flyway, which spans >16,000 km of coastline and is used by millions of shorebirds. Using a quasi‐experimental, mixed methods approach, we estimated what would have happened to shorebird populations at 17 wintering sites without ...
