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 ...

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,

The potential for applying “Nonviolent Communication” in conservation science
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 The role of a conservation scientist has never been more challenging. Amidst the rapid degradation occurring across Earth's natural ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, conservation scientists must learn new and effective ways ...

Protection of metal artefacts with the formation of metal-oxalates complexes by Beauveria bassiana.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Several fungi present high tolerance to toxic metals and some are able to transform metals into metal-oxalate complexes. In this study, the ability of Beauveria bassiana to produce copper oxalates was evaluated in vitro.

Conservation biology meets medical science [PDF]
Nature Conservation, 2022 In my letter I refer to publications around syndemics, and link them up to other health concepts, calling for a stronger link between medical, social and environmental sciences to advance the global management of pandemic threats.

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 ...

The natural selection of conservative science [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2019 Social epistemologists have argued that high risk, high reward science has an important role to play in scientific communities. Recently, though, it has also been argued that various scientific fields seem to be trending towards conservatism -- the increasing production of what Kuhn (1970) would have called `normal science'.
