Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.The importance of artificial wetlands for waterbird conservation can be easily overestimated from count data alone. The value of extensive fish ponds as a breeding habitat depends on maintaining the availability of natural marshes as a foraging habitat. This requires reducing impacts from groundwater extraction. Given recent abandonment of aquaculture,

Antipoaching standards in onshore hydrocarbon concessions drawn from a Central African case study
Conservation Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 696-706, June 2017., 2017 Abstract Unsustainable hunting outside protected areas is threatening tropical biodiversity worldwide and requires conservationists to engage increasingly in antipoaching activities. Following the example of ecocertified logging companies, we argue that other extractive industries managing large concessions should engage in antipoaching activities as ...

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 245-258, January 2026.Waterbirds distributed in semi‐arid and arid regions seem to have adapted their behaviour to the availability and seasonality of wetlands, increasing their mobility range. The Marbled Duck Marmaronetta angustirostris is a threatened waterbird that shows trans‐Mediterranean movements but these are poorly known.

Mediterranean Gate Sanctuary for the Protection of Cetaceans
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT The Alboran Sea, located at the western Mediterranean Sea, hosts a diverse and ecologically important cetacean community, including endangered species. However, current marine protected areas (MPAs) in the region are limited in scope, and existing conservation strategies are insufficient to address the wide‐ranging ecological needs of ...

Escribir en comunidad: Construcción de relaciones y responsabilidad en la producción de conocimiento
American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 447-465, September 2025.ABSTRACT As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.Abstract Action‐oriented conservation sciences are crippled by 3 false assumptions. First, although it is recognized in theory that natural and anthropic components of ecosystems are tightly intertwined, in practice, many conservation policies and actions are still based on the assumption that human and nonhuman stakes should be dealt with in deeply ...

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1413-1424, June 2025.Abstract The management of protected areas is often portrayed as an enterprise guided by objective knowledge and technical criteria, a claim that situates conservation practitioners in positions of power relative to other actors in these spaces. Challenging these claims of objectivity by exploring conservation practitioners' subjective views is vital ...
