The minimum land area requiring conservation attention to safeguard biodiversity

Science, 2022
Ambitious conservation efforts are needed to stop the global biodiversity crisis. In this study, we estimate the minimum land area to secure important biodiversity areas, ecologically intact areas, and optimal locations for representation of species ...

Habitat selection by vulnerable golden bandicoots in the arid zone

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In 2010, vulnerable golden bandicoots (Isoodon auratus) were translocated from Barrow Island, Western Australia, to a mainland predator‐free enclosure on the Matuwa Indigenous Protected Area. Golden bandicoots were once widespread throughout a variety of

The disproportionately high value of small patches for biodiversity conservation

, 2022
Small habitat patches have been historically neglected in conservation, primarily because extinction risk is higher in small patches. Nevertheless, sets of small patches usually harbor more species than one or a few larger patches of equal total area ...

Extensive gene flow in a threatened bat (Rhinonicteris aurantia) in an arid landscape

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
The bat fauna of Australia comprises some 25% of all terrestrial species, yet we know very little of the demography, dispersal, and movement dynamics of most bat species.
