A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

When and why to give shorebirds a head start

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Integrating biodiversity protection into emergency management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Megafires have emerged as a considerable threat to biodiversity conservation worldwide. The biodiversity‐focused response and recovery actions that occurred during Australia's 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires demonstrate that it is possible to protect biodiversity alongside human life and property during disasters.
