Mining and biodiversity: key issues and research needs in conservation science. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 Mining poses serious and highly specific threats to biodiversity. However, mining can also be a means for financing alternative livelihood paths that, over the long-term, may prevent biodiversity loss.

Addressing priority questions of conservation science with palaeontological data. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2019 Palaeontologists often ask identical questions to those asked by ecologists. Despite this, ecology is considered a core discipline of conservation biology, while palaeontologists are rarely consulted in the protection of species, habitats and ecosystems.

Conservation science and the ethos of restraint
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Despite aiming to make conservation science and practice more effective, many conservationists default to excessive precaution, advocating conservative actions—or even inaction. The field suffers from an understandable aversion to unintended consequences,

Avoiding wasted research resources in conservation science
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Scientific evidence is fundamental for guiding effective conservation action to curb biodiversity loss. Yet, research resources in conservation are often wasted due to biased allocation of research effort, irrelevant or low‐priority questions, flawed ...

Biotic Threats to Cycas micronesica Continue to Expand to Complicate Conservation Decisions
Insects, 2020 Invasions of non-native species can threaten native biodiversity, and island ecosystems are ideal for studying these phenomena. In this article, first, we report on the invasive species that combine to threaten the island cycad Cycas micronesica by ...
