Climatic Niche Modelling Reveals Limited Phylogenetic Niche Conservatism in New World Crocodylians
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism, the tendency of closely related species to retain ancestral ecological traits, has gained considerable interest, yet the lack of integration across independent evaluation methods has hindered our understanding of whether niches are conserved or dynamic.

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 107, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1120-1139, August 2025.ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.Crocodylian conservation effectiveness has been limited by illegal trade as well as changes in control and trade policies. We assessed spatiotemporal dynamics of illegal crocodylian trade in Colombia from 2010 to 2022 based on data collected by regional and district environmental authorities and discussed its implications on conservation efforts ...
