Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

Are natural resources a curse on the distributional consequences of financial development?

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how natural resource dependence shapes the distributional effects of financial development in developing economies. Using a balanced panel of 90 countries from 1995 to 2022 and dynamic panel and nonlinear threshold methods, we show that financial development reduces wealth inequality when resource dependence is low, but ...

Importance of using genetic data to inform conservation captive breeding: A tale of two species of threatened macaws (Ara spp.)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Unmanaged captive populations of threatened species often harbor hidden genetic risks, so using genomic tools, we audited a large private macaw collection and uncovered extensive hybridization and high inbreeding. Our findings provide an actionable framework for how routine genetic screening can be used to mitigate these risks, manage captive breeding ...

Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Environmental DNA succeeds in detecting a low‐density population of endangered harlequin frogs

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This work evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect the Critically Endangered Jambato Harlequin Frog (Atelopus ignescens)—an iconic species once thought extinct and now known only from a single locality in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of eDNA in detecting the Jambato in a low‐density amphibian population,
