Evaluating the protection status and exposure to warming of Caribbean reefs with high functional potential. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Over the past decades, climate change has emerged as a major threat to global biodiversity, negatively affecting the integrity and functioning of ecosystems and the benefits they provide to people. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to identify climate refugia that support the persistence of the structure and function of reef ...

Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate-affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

Modeling seed germination data to meet biodiversity conservation needs in the Mediterranean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Workflow to assess the availability and quality of germination data and assign species' thermal risk in the Mediterranean. (a) Assessment of data availability, including the phylogenetic distribution of the number of records (i.e. available germination data); (b) data quality assessment; and (c) assignment of climate risk categories for species that ...

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...
