estar: An R package to measure ecological stability
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Assessing ecological stability is a key task in biodiversity monitoring and conservation. Quantifying stability is not trivial because its different aspects can be measured with various properties. However, to date, no software enables measuring different stability properties on ecological time‐series data.

Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.

Nuestra diversidad lingüística como diversidad biológica
Wani, 2015 El objetivo general del presente ensayo es valorar qué es lo que se pierde cuando desaparecen nuestros idiomas ancestrales y argumentar por el cuido y preservación del patrimonio lingüístico centroamericano. Más específicamente, en el contexto de la discusión sobre la conveniencia o interés de conservar un máximo de biodiversidad en el planeta, se ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Scaling area‐based conservation, including initiatives led or comanaged by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, is a flagship goal of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Conservationists often aspire to scale initiatives, but this is rarely achieved in practice. Identifying and addressing factors that limit initiative adoption (i.e.

Matrizes, 2014 El artículo sostiene que la supervivencia de la diversidad hoy ocurre por medio de una institucionalidad mundial que envuelve la cultura y es capaz de convocar a lós organismos globales. De ello, se afirma la necesidad de una reflexión que sobrepase el determinismo tecnológico y el pesimismo cultural, de tal manera que no sólo se piense en la ...

Addressing environmental misperceptions for nature recovery
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract A poorly understood and systemic challenge to global conservation agreements is shifting baseline syndrome (SBS), wherein people misperceive the extent to which nature has changed. This can diminish societal expectations for nature recovery. We broadened the conceptual framing of SBS beyond the more common elements of nature loss to include ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We
