Effects of forest management on the conservation of bird communities in eastern North America: A meta‐analysis

Ecosphere, 2023
Forest management affects conditions for both early‐ and late‐seral organisms, and managers and conservationists require information for balancing the ostensibly opposing habitat needs of both these guilds.

Conservation gaps and priorities of range-restricted birds in the Northern Andes [PDF]

PeerJ
The ongoing destruction of habitats in the tropics accelerates the current rate of species extinction. Range-restricted species are exceptionally vulnerable, yet we have insufficient knowledge about their protection. Species’ current distributions, range

Diversity of Nearctic Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata)

Diversity, 2022
Rarely have studies assessed Odonata diversity for the entire Nearctic realm by including Canada, the United States, and Mexico. For the first time, we explored Odonata diversity in this region according to a definition of natural community assemblages ...

The non-market benefits of early and partial gains in managing threatened salmon.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Threatened species are increasingly dependent on conservation investments for persistence and recovery. Information that resource managers could use to evaluate investments-such as the public benefits arising from alternative conservation designs-is ...

Endemism patterns are scale dependent

Nature Communications, 2020
Areas of endemism are important in biogeography because they capture facets of biodiversity not represented elsewhere. However, the scales at which they are relevant to research and conservation are poorly analysed.

Systematics, natural history, and conservation of Erica (Ericaceae) [PDF]

PhytoKeys
Worldwide, many tens of thousands of plant species are threatened with extinction in the wild. Those that are naturally rare or have narrow distributions are particularly vulnerable.

Native mycorrhizal fungi improve milkweed growth, latex, and establishment while some commercial fungi may inhibit them

Ecosphere, 2022
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are root symbionts that can facilitate plant growth and influence plant communities by altering plant interactions with herbivores.

The importance of Indigenous Territories for conserving bat diversity across the Amazon biome

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Indigenous Peoples have shaped and managed vast tracts of the Amazon rainforest for millennia. However, evaluations of how much biodiversity is governed under Indigenous stewardship are scarce.
