Conservation priorities for functionally unique and specialized terrestrial vertebrates threatened by biological invasions. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Invasive non‐native species (INS) continue to pose a significant threat to biodiversity, including native population declines, which can ultimately disrupt ecosystem processes. Although there is growing evidence of the impacts of INS on functional diversity, most of the existing approaches to prioritization of species for conservation still ...

Lepidoptera research in Puerto Rico: Reconnecting with historical legacies to guide future priorities

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1215-1232, November 2023., 2023
In Puerto Rico, a tropical archipelago in a region characterized by complex socio‐economic and environmental change, ecological knowledge of the local insect fauna is scarce. Greater emphasis on ecological monitoring of model insect groups like Lepidoptera could provide insight into the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity and contribute ...

Nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly and functional trait space in tropical forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 1218-1230, June 2023., 2023
Our results demonstrate that soil nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly in tropical forests, a process mediated by key functional traits within the leaf and wood economics spectrum. Functional space size and its filling increase with soil nutrient concentration, whereas niche vacancy decreases.

From the ground up: Patterns and perceptions of herbaceous diversity in organic coffee agroecosystems

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 3, July–September 2022., 2022
Smallholder farms that transition to organic and biodiverse production are increasingly recognized as strongholds of agrobiodiversity. Yet the emergent herbaceous communities in these organic systems remain understudied, with the functional diversity and management of this stratum relatively unknown.

Alarming decline of freshwater trigger species in western Mediterranean key biodiversity areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1367-1379, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Theidentification of key biodiversity areas (KBA) was initiated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2004 to overcome taxonomic biases in the selection of important areas for conservation, including freshwater ecosystems.
