Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Hydrologic changes driven by climate change are affecting aquatic biota in the Neotropical Region, with significant impacts on water striders. Species distribution models predict an increase in conservation importance for the northern Andes and coastal areas of eastern South America, while central South America shows a decline. The observed changes are

Mountainous Floodplain Connectivity in Response to Hydrological Transitions
International audienceIn mountainous watersheds, floodplain sediments are typically characterized by gravel bed layers capped by an overlying soil unit that serves as a hotspot for biogeochemical reactivity. However, the influence of soil biogeochemistry

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.This study focuses on the conservation of a rare butterfly in northwestern Italy threatened by woody encroachment. Using field data, topography, and remote sensing, we modelled habitat suitability and connectivity. A 0.6‐ha site was selected for restoration, illustrating how predictive models can guide targeted conservation actions.

Sex‐Specific Atlantic Salmon Upstream Passage and Fallback at a Natural Cascade After Dam Removal
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the Boquet River (NY, USA) a low‐head dam set above a ~200‐m bedrock cascade was removed in 2015. We used radio‐telemetry to assess landlocked Atlantic salmon passage at the remaining cascade (2020, 2022). Across years, 52% of males (13/25) attempted cascade passage whereas females made no discernable attempts (0/11).
