Potential for synergistic conservation through area‐based strategies
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The ongoing biodiversity crisis has raised concerns about the effectiveness of area‐based conservation (ABC) strategies for achieving positive biodiversity outcomes. In riverine ecosystems, the linear habitat structure of fishes introduces uncertainty into the synergistic conservation potential of ABC.

Effect of reserve protection level and governance on tree cover loss and gain
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Terrestrial protected areas are essential for biodiversity conservation, yet it is not fully understood when and how different types of protected areas are most effective in achieving specific conservation objectives. We assessed the impact of reserves on tree cover loss and gain through a case study in Tasmania, Australia.

Taxonomic and phylogenetic biases in translocated angiosperm plant species across European countries
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation translocations are a well‐known conservation tool used to reverse the effects of local population extinctions and restore ecosystems. Compared with mammals and birds, plants are underrepresented in translocation programs, and little is known about the potential taxonomic and phylogenetic biases of plant translocation efforts.

CITES Under the Lens of the IUCN Red List
, 2017 The illegal international wildlife trade is a major threat to biodiversity by directly diminishing populations numbers. Additional threats are the potential introduction of invasive species and the spread of diseases, either due to intentional or accidental releases of confiscated animals.

Effectiveness of Key Biodiversity Areas in representing global avian diversity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the largest and most complete network of significant sites for the global persistence of biodiversity. Although important sites for birds worldwide have been relatively well assessed, a key question is how effectively the global KBA network represents avian diversity.
