Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

PROCEED v6.1: Phenotypic rates of change evolutionary and ecological database [PDF]
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Populations must continuously respond to environmental change or risk extinction. These responses can be measured as phenotypic rates of change, which allow researchers to predict their contemporary evolutionary responses. In 1999, a database of phenotypic rates of change in wild populations was compiled. Since then, researchers have used (and

Effects of nitrogen deposition on territory numbers of breeding birds [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Deposition of atmospheric N (nitrogen) is assumed to be a major cause of biodiversity decline in Europe. To date, few studies on the direct or indirect effects of N on bird species have been conducted. Using Swiss bird count data and habitat data, we analyzed the correlation of N deposition with numbers of territories of 112 breeding bird ...

Abundance, Diversity and Phenology of Mosquito Larvae in a Highly Anthropized Wetland: Health and Management Implications of Gándaras de Budiño (NW Spain) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.The natural and anthropized wetland of Gándaras de Budiño (Galicia, Spain) hosts a great number of mosquito species. Culex pipiens s.l. and Culex torrentium pose an emerging risk for West Nile virus transmission. The temporary and polluted waters, as well as the summer and spring seasons, favor the larval proliferation of these vectors.

Quail eggs in artificial nests change their coloration when exposed to ambient conditions: implication for studies on nest predation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Quail eggs have been widely used in field experiments, mainly to study factors associated with the risk of nest predation. Some shortcomings of using quail eggs in this type of study have been previously addressed (e.g., these eggs might be too big for ...

Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, June 2025.ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

A Literature Review of Host Feeding Patterns of Invasive Aedes Mosquitoes in Europe [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Aedes invasive mosquitoes (AIMs) play a key role as vectors of several pathogens of public health relevance. Four species have been established in Europe, including Aedes aegypti, Aedesalbopictus, Aedes japonicus and Aedes koreicus.

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...

Quantifying the impacts of future shoreline modification on biodiversity in a case study of coastal Georgia, United States [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract People often modify the shoreline to mitigate erosion and protect property from storm impacts. The 2 main approaches to modification are gray infrastructure (e.g., bulkheads and seawalls) and natural or green infrastructure (NI) (e.g., living shorelines).
