The birds and the trees: Avian ecosystem (dis)service perspectives and farmers' willingness to plant native trees in the agricultural landscape of the Galapagos Islands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 3182-3206, December 2025.
Abstract Agricultural landscapes hold great potential for biodiversity conservation; however, this will require finding solutions that work for both people and nature. Increasingly, the conservation community is calling for more cross‐disciplinary research integrating ecological questions with social and behavioural sciences for a more complete and ...

Mapping priority areas to mitigate the risk of electrocution of range‐restricted bird species

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2787-2799, October 2025.
Our study proposes a framework to identify areas with higher electrocution risk, which can be used even in data‐scarce regions or adapted to a multi‐species assessment context. This approach can support proactive strategies for energy companies with an initial assessment identifying areas to avoid installing new power lines, evaluating sites for ...

Genomics and morphometry of herbarium specimens elucidate the origin of the Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica A.Chev.) and highlight its agronomic potential

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1358-1371, September 2025.
As climate change accelerates, breeding resilient crops is urgent. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a crucial 18 billion USD fruit crop, underpins North African and West Asian oasis agroecosystems. This study investigates the genetics and morphology of its closest wild relative, the endemic and endangered Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica ...

High extinction risk of the endemic tree flora in a hyper‐diverse region of the Amazon

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 998-1010, July 2025.
The rapid global loss of biodiversity, especially in the Neotropics, underscores the need to understand how deforestation impacts endemic plant species' extinction risk and conservation status. Due to limited ranges and habitat specialization, endemics are particularly Vulnerable.

Temporal Dynamics of a Neotropical Plant‐Hummingbird Interaction Network

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
Using an unprecedented sampling effort we evaluated network structure and dynamics of plant‐hummingbird interactions over 1 year in the Brazilian hyperdiverse Campos Rupestres. Network structure presented remarkable temporal change, showing that tropical communities can also be strongly influenced by climate.

On the Lack of Domestic Dogs in Pre‐Columbian Lowland Amazonia and Their Deep History of Entanglements With Humans in South America

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 30, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Data from archaeology, ethnography, and ethnohistory document entanglements of dogs among South American Indigenous societies during pre‐Columbian and colonial times. The prolific presence and uses of dogs in the Central Andes and in parts of the Paraná Basin, Patagonia, and Circum‐Caribbean regions contrast with the conspicuous lack of ...

Integrating adult occurrence and reproduction data to identify conservation measures for amphibians

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Monitoring programs are pivotal to establishing sound management. Due to economic, logistic, and time limitations, monitoring programs often overlook differences among life‐history stages. However, species occurrence does not necessarily mean population viability, and it is unclear to what extent monitoring programs that do not consider ...

Scaling up ocean conservation through recognition of key biodiversity areas in the Southern Ocean from multispecies tracking data

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity is critical for maintaining ecosystem function but is threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressures. In the Southern Ocean, a highly biologically productive region containing many endemic species, proactive management is urgently needed to mitigate increasing pressures from fishing, climate change, and tourism.

Toward Sustainable Biocultural Ecotourism: An Integrated Spatial Analysis of Cultural and Biodiversity Richness in Colombia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 194-214, January 2025.
Abstract Ecotourism plays a vital role in both economic development and depending on the scale, it can also aid environmental conservation. Ecotourism planning often considers culture‐based and nature‐based tourism separately, failing to recognize the synergies between them, with the potential to market locations as biocultural destinations.
