Genetic origins and climate-induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Downlisting and recovery of species assessed by the IUCN. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Despite the increasing number of species assessed for extinction risk by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (163,040 species as of 2024), only about 1 in 1,000 have been downlisted due to genuine population improvement. Although this rare conservation achievement has been widely celebrated in several recent cases, some ...

An interdisciplinary approach to improving conservation outcomes for parasites. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Parasites represent a significant proportion of Earth's biodiversity and play important roles in the ecology and biology of ecosystems and hosts, making them an important target for conservation. Despite increasing calls to prioritize protection for parasites in the academic literature, they remain undervalued and underrepresented in global ...

Temperature Conditions in Artificial Sea Turtle Nests: Toward Optimized Hatchery Management. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined how environmental and management factors, such as wall distance and egg numbers, influence nest temperatures of Olive Ridley sea turtles in a hatchery on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to species with temperature‐dependent sex determination, such as sea turtles.

Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision‐making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time‐series data could be an affordable and cost‐efficient tool for improving the prioritization of conservation areas.

Taxonomic and phylogenetic biases in translocated angiosperm plant species across European countries. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Conservation translocations are a well‐known conservation tool used to reverse the effects of local population extinctions and restore ecosystems. Compared with mammals and birds, plants are underrepresented in translocation programs, and little is known about the potential taxonomic and phylogenetic biases of plant translocation efforts.

An evaluation of important plant areas around the world. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Area‐based approaches have long dominated biodiversity conservation and have been reinforced by the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The important plant area (IPA) approach is a leading framework for the spatial conservation prioritization of plants and fungi, but over 20 years since its launch, its application and conservation ...

Global drivers of the conservation-invasion paradox. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...
