Changes in land‐snail communities and steppe environments in the lower Rhône valley during the Lateglacial–Holocene transition

Boreas, EarlyView.
Land snail successions in the lower Rhône valley allow us to reconstruct the postglacial recolonization. From the Lateglacial period onwards, Mediterranean steppe communities appeared. The arrival of forest taxa was significantly delayed by aridity. The question of glacial refugia, both local and distant, primarily concerned Mediterranean species of ...

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

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

Conservation 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 ...

CITES Appendix III: An underused tool for international wildlife trade regulation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Appendix III of CITES allows Parties to unilaterally extend domestic species protections to international trade, yet it remains vastly underused, covering just 1.3% of listed species. Drawing on the complete historical record since 1975, we show that Appendix III is most effective for endemic species and functions as a highly successful staging ...

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Social bees can enhance the persistence of plant–bee interactions during seasonal changes in seasonally dry tropical forests

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Social bees, especially Meliponini, formed a persistent core that maintained plant–bee interactions across both dry and green seasons in the Caatinga. Persistence was not linked to broader diets; social bees used fewer plant species, despite availability, indicating selective tracking of temporally concentrated floral resources.

Biogeography of Atlantic Salmon in the Cape Breton Highlands, Canada

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations have experienced significant declines in recent decades. In Canada, conservation efforts are divided into 16 designatable units (DUs) to address unique regional challenges among genetically distinct populations.
