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 ...

Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

A review of participatory mapping in conservation science and practice

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
There has been a recent increase and diversification in the use of participatory mapping in the field of conservation, however, methodological standards remain both disjointed and confounding. We conducted a comprehensive review of the conservation participatory mapping literature and synthesized geographical, temporal, and topical trends across a ...

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Fine‐scale patterns of genetic structure in three species of forest birds reveal dynamic Pleistocene history within an Amazonian interfluve

Ibis, EarlyView.
Phylogeographical studies of Amazonian birds have revealed large intraspecific diversity, even within recognized areas of endemism. To understand the origin and organization of Amazonian diversity, including the influence of current and historical landscapes, we need to evaluate fine‐scale patterns of genetic diversity in relation to detailed ...

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

Language ecologies and dynamics in the ancient Central Andes

Abstract This chapter sketches ways of comprehending Andean patterns of language use in the context its social and cultural meaning . . ., with particular reference to the early historical situation that might contain elements for models that can be applied to (late) prehistory.
