ABSTRACT Biodiversity‐related financial risk is increasingly recognized not only as a market concern but as an ethical and systemic imperative for businesses and financial institutions. This systematic literature review synthesizes 103 peer‐reviewed studies to examine how biodiversity risk is conceptualized, measured, and integrated within financial ...

Phenotypic and Ecological Correlates of Population Decline in the World's Anurans
In this study, we assess the ecological and environmental factors associated with population decline in the world's anurans, taking into account their evolutionary relationships. A large majority of evaluated species were in decline. Range size and temperature annual range were negatively correlated with decline, whereas latitude was positively ...

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF HETEROGENEOUS GEODATA WITH A HYBRID 3D GEOINFORMATION SYSTEM [PDF]
The availability of 3D geodata is increasing tremendously. However, there is still a lack of appropriate tools for integrated data management and analysis solutions that can cope with the great diversity of geodata.

Is Wildfire Suppression in Giant Sequoia Groves a Problem, a Solution, or Neither?
There is much debate and speculation about whether recent large wildfires in giant sequoia groves have caused an unnatural excess of high‐severity fire, due to fire suppression and fuel accumulation. I found that fire of all severities remains in deficit since fire suppression began, relative to pre‐suppression levels, and found no correlation between ...

Published distribution data, while invaluable for understanding species' biogeography, often suffer from limitations such as dated and static representations of ranges, a bias toward latitudinal information, and lack of resolution in sampling frequency and variation in abundance throughout a species' distribution.

A central goal of ecology is to understand spatial patterns of species densities. Habitat suitability estimates from species distribution models (SDMs) could be used to represent species density and overcome the scarcity of density data. However, there is mixed evidence that habitat suitability is a reliable descriptor of density, and it is suggested ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...

Design considerations for breeding waterfowl surveys
This study evaluated how different survey designs affect the accuracy and precision of breeding waterfowl population estimates in Iowa's Prairie Pothole Region. Using aerial survey data from 2016–2018, we found that conducting at least 2 visits per season reduced bias in pair estimates, particularly for wood ducks and blue‐winged teal, while mallard ...

Europe's Ecological Debt: Mapping Freshwater Restoration Needs
We used data from the Habitats Directive and the Water Framework Directive to assess freshwater‐related restoration needs across Europe using the Composite Indicator of Conservation Status. Freshwater restoration needs are widespread, with over 94% of River Restoration Units (R2U) showing unfavourable conservation status under at least one of the two ...
