Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

A Threat‐Scoring Framework Using Crowdsourced Data Indicates High Threat Levels in Fossorial Shieldtail Snakes

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Reliable estimates of species distributions are crucial for understanding their conservation needs. Yet for many species, IUCN largely relies on expert‐drawn ranges, which are often inaccurate. Focusing on shieldtail snakes in peninsular India, we combined citizen science, literature, field, and museum records to create improved distribution maps for ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Mitigating the human link in emerging reptile fungal pathogen transmission

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Handling wild reptiles is common among amateur herpetology enthusiasts, professional researchers, social media influencers, and photographers. However, the potential for these interactions to spread diseases that threaten wild reptiles remains underappreciated.

Reevaluating the suitability of amphibians and reptiles for translocation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The scale of amphibian and reptile translocations over the past 16 years necessitates a reassessment of current practices since the last major review in 2009. We conducted a literature review of translocations from 2007 to 2023 and identified 313 case studies encompassing conservation‐, mitigation‐, and research‐related translocations.

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.
