Cattle grazing and conservation of a meadow-dependent amphibian species in the Sierra Nevada. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
World-wide population declines have sharpened concern for amphibian conservation on working landscapes. Across the Sierra Nevada's national forest lands, where almost half of native amphibian species are considered at risk, permitted livestock grazing is

Conservation of σ28-Dependent Non-Coding RNA Paralogs and Predicted σ54-Dependent Targets in Thermophilic Campylobacter Species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Assembly of flagella requires strict hierarchical and temporal control via flagellar sigma and anti-sigma factors, regulatory proteins and the assembly complex itself, but to date non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have not been described to regulate genes ...

Combining multiscale niche modeling, landscape connectivity, and gap analysis to prioritize habitats for conservation of striped hyaena (Hyaena hyaena).

PLoS ONE, 2022
Identifying spatial gaps in conservation networks requires information on species-environment relationships, and prioritization of habitats and corridors.

Knowledge Gaps in the Definition of Threats for the Red List Assessment of European Freshwater-Dependent Fish Species

Biology, 2021
Freshwater ecosystems are disproportionally important for biodiversity conservation, as they support more than 9% of known animal species while representing less than 1% of the Earth’s surface.

Win‐wins for biodiversity and ecosystem service conservation depend on the trophic levels of the species providing services [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018
Abstract Confronted by significant impacts to ecosystems world‐wide, decision makers face the challenge of maintaining both biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services (ES). However, the objectives of managing biodiversity and supplying ES may not always be in concert, resulting in the need for trade‐offs. Understanding these potential trade‐

Integrating species pools and abundance distribution in habitat conservation status assessment: A new index

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Habitat degradation and fragmentation are recognized as major causes of biodiversity loss, and effective management to conserve habitats is highly dependent on our ability to assess their conservation status.

Ecological niche modelling of two water-dependant birds informs the conservation needs of riverine ecosystems outside protected area network in the Eastern Himalaya, India.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Common species often play vital roles in ecosystem functions and processes. Globally, conservation strategies are mostly focused on threatened species and rarely explored the potential of using common species as indicators of critical ecosystems.

Looking for indicator bird species in the context of forest fragmentation and isolation in West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
In the context of Borneo’s drastic landscape fragmentation, we assessed the role of diverse forest and land uses—swidden agriculture, mixed garden, smallholder rubber and oil palm plantations—in determining (1) diversity levels and composition of bird ...

Effects of traditional flood irrigation on invertebrates in lowland meadows. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Lowland meadow irrigation used to be widespread in Central Europe, but has largely been abandoned during the 20th century. As a result of agri-environment schemes and nature conservation efforts, meadow irrigation is now being re-established in some ...
