Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
The global marine aquarium hobby is a multibillion‐dollar industry, largely driven by demand from the United States. Much of this trade occurs online. We web scraped 4 major US‐based e‐commerce platforms selling marine aquarium fish to determine the retail price and source (wild capture, aquaculture, or both) of 13 families of ray‐finned marine fish ...

A Dominant Founder Lineage Has Possible Fitness Costs for the Endangered Mexican Grey Wolf. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT The Mexican grey wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is an endangered and genetically distinct subspecies of grey wolf adapted to the warm climates of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Following centuries of eradication efforts, Mexican grey wolves were protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1976, prompting an international ex situ ...

Incorporating citizen science into IUCN Red List assessments. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Many citizen scientists are highly motivated to help address the current extinction crisis. Their work is making valuable contributions to protecting species by raising awareness, identifying species occurrences, assessing population trends, and informing direct management actions, such as captive breeding.

Factors affecting the recovery of Mexican wolves in the Southwest United States

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 10, Page 2199-2209, October 2023., 2023
Using management removal to reduce human–carnivore conflict can have negative population impacts if not used judiciously. Recovering and maintaining carnivore populations in shared landscapes may require greater tolerance of conflict and more emphasis on effective conflict prevention strategies and compensation programs for affected stakeholders ...

Publication and use of genetic tools in conservation management applications—A systematic review

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1522-1536, August 2023., 2023
Conservation genetics tools must be brought to the forefront of conservation policy and management. Users should support the use of systems and accessible databases to increase the uptake of genetics tools for conservation in applied management decisions for wildlife, reducing barriers to disseminating the results to other end users and interested ...

Association of reproductive traits with captive‐ versus wild‐sourced birds in trade

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The wildlife trade is a billion‐dollar global business, involving millions of people, thousands of species, and hundreds of millions of individual organisms. Unravelling whether trade targets reproductively distinct species and whether this preference varies between captive‐ and wild‐sourced species is a crucial question.

Modeling genetic benefits and financial costs of integrating biobanking into the conservation breeding of managed marsupials

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Managed breeding programs are an important tool in marsupial conservation efforts but may be costly and have adverse genetic effects in unavoidably small captive colonies. Biobanking and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) could help overcome these challenges, but further demonstration of their potential is required to improve uptake. We

Bibliometric investigation of the integration of animal personality in conservation contexts

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Consistent individual differences in behavior, commonly termed animal personality, are a widespread phenomenon across taxa that have important consequences for fitness, natural selection, and trophic interactions. Animal personality research may prove useful in several conservation contexts, but which contexts remains to be determined.
