Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the Mediterranean

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Methodology to identify ecologically matching areas and its applications in conservation planning

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying ecologically matching areas is both challenging and critical for understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity and advancing conservation planning. However, existing approaches often lack spatial flexibility, overlook shape and size constraints, or rely on limited environmental parameters, reducing their effectiveness in real ...

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

open access: yesIbis, 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.

Predictive evolutionary genomics: principles, validation, and practice

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change and habitat loss are driving rapid evolutionary responses in populations world‐wide, which creates an urgent need for evolutionary forecasting in conservation and agriculture. Such forecasting can be categorized into three time scales: trait‐based models that use multivariate quantitative genetic equations to project correlated ...

Environmental Justice in the Brazilian Coastal Food Systems: Policies, Institutions, and Knowledges on Small‐Scale Fishers and Energy Development

open access: yesWorld Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores environmental justice issues in coastal food systems, focusing on conflicts between small‐scale fisheries and the energy sector due to differing goals in managing food and energy sources. It does so by examining the interdependence between institutions, policies, and different types of knowledge; key elements in building ...
