Evolution of research on global amphibian declines
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

Communities with diverse subsistence needs require a variety of functional tree traits
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Malagasy forest users vary the traits that they prefer for different household uses. Accessibility is prioritized for daily uses such as fuelwood, while functional traits are valued for longer‐term uses. Differences between men and women reflect traditional gender roles.

A framework for monitoring ecosystem restoration at landscape scale
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The Landscape Restoration Monitoring Framework supports large‐scale ecosystem restoration projects to effectively assess progress towards outcomes. It provides guidance for the selection of indicators to assess change at two different time scales and across a diversity of ecosystem, ecosystem service, and socioeconomic dimensions.

The contribution of citizens to threatened plant conservation
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Abstract There is growing recognition of the importance of citizens in biodiversity conservation, particularly in the Mediterranean Basin—a global biodiversity hotspot and cradle of several civilizations—where human actions have influenced the introduction, extinction, and relocation of plant species, determining their current distribution.

Stored mafic/ultramafic crust and early Archean mantle depletion [PDF]
Both early and late Archean rocks from greenstone belts and felsic gneiss complexes exhibit positive epsilon(Nd) values of +1 to +5 by 3.5 Ga, demonstrating that a depleted mantle reservoir existed very early.
