Metabolic traits and thresholds to inform marine ecological conservation and restoration

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Integrating organismal responses to environmental stressors into monitoring protocols can provide early warning indicators of ecosystem health. This approach strengthens conservation and restoration initiatives, supporting policy decisions in the face of increasing coastal development and climate change.

Densities of the endangered Large blue butterfly Phengaris arion vary by 100‐fold in restored conservation grasslands, providing a tool to prioritise future introductions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Observed population dynamics of P. arion conform with theories of a definable ceiling for insect numbers, controlled by density dependence and limited by a larval resource that is typically more specialised and rarer within sites than was once perceived. At a practical level, the model provides a useful tool for determining which future sites should be

Population genetics of Zamia decumbens (Zamiaceae, Cycadales), an endangered cycad from the Maya Mountains of Belize

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
We utilized 10 microsatellite loci to examine the genetic diversity, genetic structure, and demographic history of Zamia decumbens Calonje, Meerman, M.P. Griff. & Hoese, an endangered cycad species occurring in small disjunct populations on karst topography within the Maya Mountains of Belize.

Threats to cycad biocultural heritage in the Amami Islands, Japan

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
The central point we seek to frame in this article is that the increasing infestations of cycad aulacaspis scale in the Amami guntō existentially threaten not only the islands' sotetsu but rather entire cultural systems and natural ecologies that have developed around these plants.

Biological invasion by the cycad‐specific scale pest Aulacaspis yasumatsui (Diaspididae) into Cycas revoluta (Cycadaceae) populations on Amami‐Oshima and Okinawa‐jima, Japan

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
This article details the invasion of cycad aulacaspis scale into the islands of Okinawa‐Jima and Amami‐Oshima. Several recommendations are proposed in this article by members of the IUCN cycad specialist group and experts in the biological control of this scale insect.
