Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

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.

The commercial trade in exotic pets has had little impact on wild populations of reptiles and amphibians

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The commercial trade in exotic pets has raised concerns about population‐level impacts from collection in the wild; however, proponents of the trade claim that such concerns are unfounded. To resolve this debate, more information is needed on the volume of the pet trade, the species involved, their conservation status in the wild, and the ...

A systematic review of deforestation outcomes in potential other effective area‐based conservation measures across Latin America

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recognizing conservation contributions from areas outside protected areas (PAs), including other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs), is increasingly central to meeting global biodiversity targets. However, little is known about which areas could qualify as OECMs and whether they support forest conservation.

A critical reflection on the application of hot product frameworks to explain the target selection of wildlife products

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The application of hot product frameworks, such as value, inertia, visibility, and accessibility (VIVA) and concealable, removable, available, (abundance and accessibility), valuable, enjoyable, and disposable (CRAVED/CRAAVED), to illegal markets to understand the selection of wildlife products in them has gained momentum.
