Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
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

Multiple global‐change drivers and cascading effects in Mediterranean ecosystems: Lessons from an iconic national park

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mediterranean ecosystems face complex, multi‐trophic impacts from global‐change drivers, yet responses are often studied in isolation. Using the Doñana Protected Area as a case study, we illustrate how anthropogenic pressures on key species like cork oaks and rabbits, as well as increases in species like wild boar and invasive crayfish, lead to ...
