Approximation of hyperbolic conservation laws

open access: yes, 2007
In a first part, we study the zero diffusion-dispersion limit for a class of nonlinear hyperbolic and multi-dimensional conservation laws regularized in a fashion similar to to the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers (BBMB) and Korteweg-deVries-Burgers (KdVB) equations.

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Integrating traditional practices, livelihoods, and conservation with Indigenous‐led furbearer camera trapping

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Contemporary conservation goals have a greater chance of success when practitioners collaborate with Indigenous communities. The importance of such collaborations has spurred calls by Western and Indigenous researchers to engage in equitable coproduction of ecological research that integrates multiple ways of knowing.

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Ticking the box: Does a decision support framework for management planning improve protected area management effectiveness?

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Protected area (PA) management effectiveness assessment tools like the METT help conservation agencies demonstrate accountability but often oversimplify complex management realities, leading to METT indicator compliance rather than positive conservation outcomes. Applying a decision support framework like the Conservation Standards to 38 Cape Floristic

Short‐term effects of wildlife rehabilitation disappear over time in the wild: A case study on Spanish imperial eagles

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assessed the effectiveness of Wildlife Recovery Centers by comparing dispersal behavior of rehabilitated and wild Spanish imperial eagles using GPS tracking. Rehabilitated individuals initially moved shorter distances, rested more, and hunted less than wild controls, but these differences declined over time and ultimately disappeared.
