Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave [PDF]

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List [PDF]

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Key practices for ethical research during scientific expeditions

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
In many cases, expeditionary practices undermined local knowledge and expertise. This perspective advocates for a shift from parachute science towards a collaborative research approach. We reflect on and suggest best practices during scientific expeditions within research teams and in the team's interactions with different communities.

Reversible Modulation of Glycan Recognition in C‐Type Lectins by Calcium/Lanthanide Exchange

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
NMR reveals that Ca2+/Ln3+ exchange reversibly modulates carbohydrate recognition by C‐type lectins. C‐type lectins are Ca2+‐dependent glycan‐binding proteins involved in immune recognition and host–pathogen interactions. Previous structural studies suggested that lanthanide ions can replace Ca2+ while preserving protein structure, raising the ...

Muralismo como encargo participativo: Holografía de lo (in)visible en comunidades a’i cofán de la selva colombiana

Anthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT When mural art in indigenous communities is commissioned as a participatory project, several methodological, epistemological, and aesthetic questions arise. This text proposes a horizontal and investigative approach to what we can simply call ‘muralism in the A'i Cofán community context,’ not as significant works executed in communities, but ...

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 531-544, August 2026.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

Comunidade de corujas (Aves: Strigiformes) na RPPN Bugerkopf, Blumenau, Santa Catarina

Biotemas, 2012
A Ordem Strigiformes carece de estudos no país e especialmente no Estado de Santa Catarina. São raras as pesquisas que envolvem aspectos básicos como presença e ausência em áreas de Floresta Atlântica. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi caracterizar a comunidade de corujas (Aves: Strigiformes) na RPPN Bugerkopf, sul do município de Blumenau, Santa Catarina.
