Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Lessons learned from screening potential other effective area‐based conservation measures

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites that deliver effective biodiversity outcomes irrespective of their management objectives. These areas are widely expected to play an important role in efforts to protect 30% of Earth by 2030.

Changes in Key Biodiversity Area networks following national comprehensive assessments

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Making comprehensive assessments of Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) networks in a country greatly increases their number and area. Countries that have not yet done so will be missing about half of these globally significant sites and missing the opportunity to get 30 × 30 conservation in the right places. Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites of

Functional trade-offs and ecological correlates of seed oil traits in alpine ecosystems. [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Biol (Stuttg)
This study examines seed oil content patterns in 47 alpine species, revealing a significant trade‐off between seed oil and seed longevity. Abstract Seed oil content is a crucial energy reserve in angiosperms, with effects on biological functions and plant fitness, playing an important role in seed protection from environmental conditions.

Mexican Lepidoptera biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Being among the most habitat diverse countries in the world (and plant diversity is about 22,000 sp.), Mexico has a Lepidoptera fauna recorded at about 14,385 species but is estimated to be over 22,000 species, if not much higher (some estimates go to 35,

Representativeness of the Natura 2000 network for preserving plant biodiversity in the European Union

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...

Inventario de los Calyptratae (Insecta: Diptera) saprófagos en los espacios verdes urbanos de la ciudad de Buenos Aires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
El inventario de la biodiversidad es una tarea urgente para la conservación de los insectos. En particular, los espacios verdes urbanos (áreas sin edificaciones) dentro de entornos urbanos son un elemento fundamental para el mantenimiento y restauración ...

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.
