Improvements for better scaling of locally managed marine areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract To protect and restore ecosystems at the speed and scale required to meet current environmental challenges, a greater understanding of how conservation initiatives spread from existing to new adopters is required. According to the diffusion of innovation theory, positive adopter‐to‐peer communication is a powerful driver of innovation spread ...

Role of protected areas in mitigating range loss and local extinctions of terrestrial mammals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a major tool in biodiversity conservation, but the extent to which they mitigate species declines is often unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species.

Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledge

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Four streams of infromation, data, and knowledges are brought together into an ecosystem typology for the Tiwi Islands. The Typology contains written descriptions and conceptual models for each ecosystem, cross‐reference to other classification schemes, and a map of ecosystem distributions. Abstract Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and

Key drivers of at‐vessel mortality in demersal sharks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrichthyans are highly vulnerable to fisheries overexploitation, and postcapture mortality poses a significant threat to most species. Global bycatch mitigation guidelines recommend adopting hierarchical decision‐making approaches tailored to species‐specific vulnerabilities and socioeconomic and regulatory contexts.
