Scientific ReportsConservation efforts have led to substantial recovery of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations globally, yet over- or intensive grazing by these megaherbivores is now degrading seagrass ecosystems. We assessed the impacts of turtle-driven grazing and

Banking Biodiversity: Ex Vivo Solutions for a Planet in Crisis
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Genetic diversity is being lost faster than it can be cataloged. Biobanking preserves cells, gametes, and DNA as recoverable material for future conservation use, and delivers most when collections are established proactively rather than deployed once populations are already critically depleted.

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,
