Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals. [PDF]
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Teacher-Student Relationship Quality and Classroom Climate From the Student Perspective: Adaptation of the SPARTS-E in the Spanish Context7. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The quality of the affective bond between teachers and their students is recognised as a key determinant of children's socio‐emotional adjustment, classroom climate and academic engagement. Spain, however, lacks student‐reported measures grounded in attachment theory. This study therefore adapted and validated the Student Perception

Analysis of morphological attributes as a driver of trade in poison dart frogs. [PDF]
Abstract The unsustainable use of wildlife is a threat to biodiversity on a global scale, and the insatiable demand is driven by the attributes of the species, their parts, and derivatives. However, not all species are equally valued; certain attributes command a higher price. One example is the exotic pet trade in amphibians and reptiles.

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions. [PDF]
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...

Effectiveness and treatment moderators of parenting interventions in Finnish perinatal primary care. [PDF]
Abstract Perinatal parenting interventions may be important for enhancing parenting quality, but previous research has mostly focused on parental sensitivity. Other important outcomes, such as parental self‐efficacy (PSE), have rarely been studied. Research is also contradictory on whether parenting interventions can also enhance maternal mental health

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas
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 ...

The entanglement between the IUCN Red List and international biodiversity law
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (red list) is of fundamental importance for nature conservation and biodiversity protection. I considered the interaction between the red list and international biodiversity law (IBL), the legal regime that aims to protect biodiversity at a global level ...

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

Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem
The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.
