Global drivers of the conservation–invasion paradox
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Thousands of plants, fungi, and lichen species are traded every year. Although sustainable use is critical for livelihoods and biodiversity conservation, insufficient data prevent detailed sustainability assessments for most species. How can the sustainability of trade in such data‐deficient species be enhanced?

Changes in community composition and functional diversity of European bats under climate change
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically ...

Role of protected areas in mitigating range loss and local extinctions of terrestrial mammals
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a major tool in biodiversity conservation, but the extent to which they mitigate species declines is often unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species.

RCTs in the wild: Designing and implementing conservation programs as randomized control trials
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Most conservation programs involve some degree of behavioral mediation (i.e. they aim to influence biodiversity through changing human behavior) which complicates evaluation. Randomized Control Trials have a lot of potential but are relatively rarely used. We present a practical, grounded guide to foster broader adoption.

Participatory approaches to improving recreational fisheries management in a remote island system
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Marine recreational fisheries management is often impacted by data deficiencies and conflicting stakeholder views. Using participatory approaches can help to increase fisher engagement and identify trade‐offs to boost future management. Social science tools, including scenario‐based approaches, were used to explore recreational fisheries on a remote ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
Ecography, EarlyView.In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.
