Potential for synergistic conservation through area‐based strategies

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The ongoing biodiversity crisis has raised concerns about the effectiveness of area‐based conservation (ABC) strategies for achieving positive biodiversity outcomes. In riverine ecosystems, the linear habitat structure of fishes introduces uncertainty into the synergistic conservation potential of ABC.

Complex relationship between soil fungi and conservation value assessments in boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale industrial forestry is a threat to biodiversity and imposes long‐lasting changes to many forested biomes. Preserving forests as reserves is an important component of the strategy for safeguarding forest biodiversity. Yet, the selection of forests of high biodiversity value is usually based on proxies (i.e., subsets of aboveground ...

Use of community characteristics to predict hunting and game harvests in western Amazonian forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild game harvesting in Amazonia provides rural residents with protein and cash income but can threaten wildlife populations and forest ecosystem functions. As yet, the socioeconomic and environmental drivers that shape hunter livelihoods remain poorly understood.

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

African voices and their role in improving north–south collaborations for biodiversity conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract While the dominance of policies from the Global North has shaped conservation practices, holistic decision‐making is urgently needed to incorporate more local voices, especially in Africa. Effective conservation strategies may be enhanced by incorporating the expertise and resources of the Global North alongside the knowledge, lived ...
