Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Five‐year assessment of wolf translocation to Isle Royale National Park, 2018–2023

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The National Park Service used a variety of methods to monitor the success of a restored wolf population on Isle Royale National Park. Abstract Gray wolf (Canis lupus) translocation is a common approach for restoring ecological function through top‐down regulation.

Importance of using genetic data to inform conservation captive breeding: A tale of two species of threatened macaws (Ara spp.)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Unmanaged captive populations of threatened species often harbor hidden genetic risks, so using genomic tools, we audited a large private macaw collection and uncovered extensive hybridization and high inbreeding. Our findings provide an actionable framework for how routine genetic screening can be used to mitigate these risks, manage captive breeding ...
