Scientists' warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Unraveling Biogeographic Boundaries Within the Sierra Madre Oriental, México: An Endemicity Analysis Using a Taxonomically Diverse Dataset. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe provide boundaries of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico through a multi‐taxa endemicity analysis. ABSTRACT The Sierra Madre Oriental (SMO) is a significant mountain range and one of Mexico's 14 biogeographical provinces. Its delimitation has been debated.

Wintering Together: Do Migrants Impact Residents? A Literature Review. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis review examines the overlooked impacts of interspecific competition on resident tropical birds during the overwintering period, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of their interactions with migratory species. By evaluating the literature through the lens of competition theory, we identify critical gaps in knowledge and suggest that ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Reduction in population size, with its predicted effects on population fitness, is the most alarming anthropogenic impact on endangered species. By introducing compatible individuals, genetic rescue (GR) is a promising but debated approach for reducing the genetic load unmasked by inbreeding and for restoring the fitness of declining ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Tropical montane bird communities are hypothesized to be highly sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance because species are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions and display high rates of endemism. We assessed avian sensitivity at regional and continental scales for a global epicenter of montane bird biodiversity, the tropical ...

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1183-1194, November 2023., 2023 Plants are often overlooked in conservation planning. In Mozambique, we find that the richest areas for rare and threatened plant species are poorly represented within the protected area network. We use Important Plant Areas and the Weighted Endemism including Global Endangerment (WEGE) index to identify opportunities to better conserve Mozambique's ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 10, Page 1049-1060, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Scutellastra mexicana is the largest patellid in the world, with records of up to 35.5 cm in length, and is one of the most endangered marine invertebrates from tropical Pacific rocky shores. The decline of this species occurred during the 20th century, when fishing cooperatives reported the capture of millions of specimens in less than 2 ...

Is the “Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco” a biodiversity hotspot for orchid bees? [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2014 The orchid-bee faunas (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina) of the three largest forest remnants in the “Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco”, northeastern Brazil, namely Estação Ecológica de Murici (ESEC Murici), RPPN Frei Caneca, and a forest preserve belonging to Usina Serra Grande, in the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco, were surveyed using seventeen ...
