Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been evident for over 10,000 years, the pace and scale of change has accelerated dramatically since the onset

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

A framework for monitoring ecosystem restoration at landscape scale

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The Landscape Restoration Monitoring Framework supports large‐scale ecosystem restoration projects to effectively assess progress towards outcomes. It provides guidance for the selection of indicators to assess change at two different time scales and across a diversity of ecosystem, ecosystem service, and socioeconomic dimensions.

Mapping Mediterranean bentho‐demersal communities to better inform marine conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine protected areas are one of the most common conservation tools being implemented worldwide to reach conservation targets, but their implementation does not usually take the heterogeneous distribution of bentho‐demersal communities into account.

The contribution of citizens to threatened plant conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract There is growing recognition of the importance of citizens in biodiversity conservation, particularly in the Mediterranean Basin—a global biodiversity hotspot and cradle of several civilizations—where human actions have influenced the introduction, extinction, and relocation of plant species, determining their current distribution.
