Temperature niche composition change inside and outside protected areas under climate warming
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Conservation of biodiversity relies heavily on protected areas but their role and effectiveness under a warming climate is still debated. We estimated the climate‐driven changes in the temperature niche compositions of bird communities inside and outside protected areas in southern Canada.

Global effects of forest modification on herpetofauna communities
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract As the area covered by human‐modified environments grows, it is increasingly important to understand the responses of communities to the novel habitats created, especially for sensitive and threatened taxa. We aimed to improve understanding of the major evolutionary and ecological processes that shape the assemblage of amphibian and reptile ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Effective conservation requires understanding species’ abundance patterns and demographic rates across space and time. Ideally, such knowledge should be available for whole communities because variation in species’ dynamics can elucidate factors leading to biodiversity losses.

Protected area characteristics that help waterbirds respond to climate warming
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Protected area networks help species respond to climate warming. However, the contribution of a site's environmental and conservation‐relevant characteristics to these responses is not well understood. We investigated how composition of nonbreeding waterbird communities (97 species) in the European Union Natura 2000 (N2K) network (3018 sites ...

Indirect effects of African megaherbivore conservation on bat diversity in the world's oldest desert
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract In extreme environments, temperature and precipitation are often the main forces responsible for structuring ecological communities and species distributions. The role of biotic interactions is typically thought to be minimal. By clustering around rare and isolated features, like surface water, however, effects of herbivory by desert‐dwelling ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 870-883, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Megadams are among the key modern drivers of habitat and biodiversity loss in emerging economies. The Balbina Hydroelectric Dam of Central Brazilian Amazonia inundated 312,900 ha of primary forests and created approximately 3500 variable‐sized islands that still harbor vertebrate populations after nearly 3 decades after isolation. We estimated
