Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This paper proposes a ‘relaxed’ point‐count survey method to enhance accessibility and expand geographic coverage by easing these constraints. Surveys can be conducted in diverse locations, including urban areas and travel routes, within flexible timeframes (e.g., 6 h after sunrise or during the evening) and with adaptable spacing between survey points,

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2889-2904, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the Southwest Australian Biodiversity Hotspot, the greatest plant species diversity tends to occur on the most phosphorus (P)‐impoverished soils. Many plant species in this P‐impoverished environment release root carboxylates that mobilise soil P which is a more ...

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...
