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

open access: yesBoreas, 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 ...

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Early outcomes of England's new biodiversity offset market

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature markets are being operationalized as a tool to address the biodiversity finance gap and achieve global biodiversity targets. However, there is limited understanding of how the outcomes of these markets align with biodiversity targets.

Integrated species distribution modeling to assess species status and current and future threats for an imperiled amphibian

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
To understand the range‐wide drivers of Arizona Toad distribution and anticipate future changes, we combined 13 datasets covering distinct portions of the range in an integrated species distribution model. We estimate that the current occupied range is 1/4–1/3 of previously defined range boundaries and that increasingly dry conditions will lead to ...
