Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...

A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Variable species establishment in response to microhabitat indicates different likelihoods of climate‐driven range shifts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species will shift beyond current range edges into new habitats as they become macroclimatically ...

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.
