Establishing new grid‐size‐dependent attributes to rank areas of endemism for conservation priorities

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Delineating Areas of Endemism (AEs) is crucial for identifying priority areas for biodiversity conservation in a spatial planning framework. Endemicity Analysis in the NDM/VNDM software is one of the primary methodologies for its delineation.

Effects of protection on large‐bodied reef fishes in the western Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Predatory and large‐bodied coral reef fishes have fundamental roles in the functioning and biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems, but their populations are declining, largely due to overexploitation in fisheries. These fishes include sharks, groupers, Humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and Green Humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum).

Frontiers of conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Action‐oriented conservation sciences are crippled by 3 false assumptions. First, although it is recognized in theory that natural and anthropic components of ecosystems are tightly intertwined, in practice, many conservation policies and actions are still based on the assumption that human and nonhuman stakes should be dealt with in deeply ...

How do you like your rivers? Portraying public perception and preference for urban rivers in China via a combined visual and textual analysis

open access: yesThe Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Urban rivers enhance human–nature interactions in cities, especially through ecological and recreational benefits, with water quality emerging as a primary public concern. However, biodiversity remains undervalued, indicating a gap in public awareness.

Biotic Mechanisms Strengthen Functional and Phylogenetic Convergence of Reef Fish Assemblages at Higher Latitudes

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim How communities of organisms come together has long fascinated scientists, with renewed interest in using functional and evolutionary patterns to infer mechanisms of community assembly. Ecological theory predicts that biotic interactions could lead to either divergence in the event of niche partitioning or convergence through the exclusion
