From Crisis to Resilience: Rethinking Urban Flooding and Groundwater Recharge in Bengaluru City, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Dinámica del paisaje y fragmentación de hábitats en la región terrestre prioritaria El Tokio

Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios
El cambio de uso de suelo, debido a diversas actividades antropogénicas, genera una fragmentación del hábitat. El objetivo de este trabajo es entender la dinámica del cambio en el uso de suelo, clasificar el índice de fragmentación, en base al índice de ...

Conservation implications of low contemporary connectivity along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge in hydrothermal vent gastropods

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that provide multiple ecosystem services. Knowledge about connectivity between vents will inform conservation practices.

Landscape forest cover, not edge contrast, modulates edge effects on palm diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that landscape forest cover plays a critical role in modulating edge effects in plant communities in our study system, but not all woody crops systems provide buffering benefits, as cacao plantations in our study failed to soften edge effects.

An integrated approach to balance freshwater connectivity restoration and invasion risk

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Habitat fragmentation negatively affects many native migratory fish populations. However, this fragmentation can also prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species. We modified the dendritic connectivity index (DCI), a commonly used freshwater connectivity metric, to account for multiple invasive dispersal pathways in estimates of ...

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

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
