Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Continental‐wide prioritization of protected areas to address global and habitat‐specific goals for avian biodiversity conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas.

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Comprehensive and representative conservation planning for biodiversity of ice‐free Antarctica

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antarctica is designated as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science, with Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) serving as the primary instrument for area‐based biodiversity protection. However, the existing ASPA network lacks the comprehensiveness and representativeness required under Annex V, Article 3(2), of the Madrid Protocol.

Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) occupancy patterns reveal sensitivity to low precipitation on nonbreeding grounds in northern Costa Rica

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.
