Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...

Continental-wide prioritization of protected areas to address global and habitat-specific goals for avian biodiversity conservation. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas.

Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Modeling seed germination data to meet biodiversity conservation needs in the Mediterranean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Workflow to assess the availability and quality of germination data and assign species' thermal risk in the Mediterranean. (a) Assessment of data availability, including the phylogenetic distribution of the number of records (i.e. available germination data); (b) data quality assessment; and (c) assignment of climate risk categories for species that ...

Thermal Vulnerability of Reef Fish and Implications for Subsistence Fisheries Throughout the Caribbean [PDF]

Global change biology.
We present species distribution models of seven finfish species that are important for coastal subsistence. Models highlight potential for substantial future shifts in distributions in the coming decades. Information on changing climate suitability can support regional planning including marine protected area expansion to help bolster food security and

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...
