European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants
European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.

Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Abstract Pollinator conservation schemes typically focus on conserving existing, restoring degraded, or creating new wild bee habitats. Their effectiveness depends on dispersal corridors enabling habitat colonization by bees. However, the role of seminatural linear landscape structures (LLS) in connecting pollinator communities across intensively ...

Abstract As the coverage of area‐based conservation increases across the globe, it is critical to improve understanding of the social and ecological outcomes of such measures and the pathways to their outcomes. A social–ecological systems approach to monitoring and evaluation is increasingly advocated; yet, applications remain scarce.

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation
Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

Understanding Self‐Rated Health: Examining the Mediating Effect of Self‐Efficacy
ABSTRACT Understanding self‐rated health (i.e., individuals' perception of their health status) is essential because it not only serves as a reliable and valid indicator of population and individual health, but also provides an important basis to formulate health policies and to evaluate the effectiveness of these policies (Salomon et al., 2009 ...
