Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Urban–Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...

Disentangling conservation asymmetries through socio‐economic transboundary factors across the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest of South America

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1328-1348, May 2026.
Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...

Simulating drying and human impacts on river networks to evaluate biological quality indices performance through the lens of metacommunity theory

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work constitutes a first step towards developing simulation‐based assessments that incorporate catchment drying patterns to support biomonitoring of drying river networks. Our approach can inform stakeholders when current methods are likely to fail and contribute to decision‐making on whether adapting current methods is possible or developing new ...

Short-term effects of habitat fragmentation on the abundance and species richness of beetles in experimental alfalfa micro-landscapes Efectos a corto plazo de la fragmentación del hábitat sobre la abundancia y riqueza de especies de coleópteros en micro-paisajes experimentales de alfalfa

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2004
Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered as the main causes of biodiversity depression. Habitat loss implies a reduction of suitable habitat for organisms, and habitat fragmentation is a change in the spatial configuration of the landscape, with the

Presencia de Dromiciops (Microbiotheriidae) en un remanente de bosque esclerófilo mediterráneo del Santuario de la Naturaleza Península de Hualpén, Chile

Gayana, 2021
La modificación del uso de suelo ha provocado la pérdida, fragmentación y degradación del escaso remanente de bosque nativo presente en el centro-sur de Chile, hábitat de marsupiales del género Dromiciops (Microbiotheria). En este estudio, exploramos la

Meta‐analysis on the effects of composition and configuration of landscape on the functional diversity of tropical mammals

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that mammal functional richness in tropical regions requires integrating habitat amount and landscape configuration into land‐use planning. Conservation strategies should move beyond setting targets for total habitat area and explicitly incorporate configuration metrics that promote heterogeneity and functional connectivity. In

LA CONSERVACIÓN BIOLÓGICA Y SU PERSPECTIVA EVOLUTIVA

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2009
RESUMEN Este artículo revisa dos de las principales causas de amenaza a la diversidad biológica, como son la fragmentación y/o pérdida del hábitat y la introducción e invasión de especies exóticas, principalmente en lo que compete a sus implicaciones ...
