No escape from microplastics: Contamination of reef manta ray feeding areas in a remote, protected archipelago

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We found microplastic contamination of the upper water column around the Chagos Archipelago, a remote, protected archipelago in the central Indian Ocean. Key aggregation areas for reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) were contaminated, putting them at risk of microplastic ingestion.

Illegal trade of crocodylians in Colombia: Spatiotemporal dynamics and implications on conservation efforts

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Crocodylian conservation effectiveness has been limited by illegal trade as well as changes in control and trade policies. We assessed spatiotemporal dynamics of illegal crocodylian trade in Colombia from 2010 to 2022 based on data collected by regional and district environmental authorities and discussed its implications on conservation efforts ...

Protected area targets: Spatially evaluating progress and prioritizing areas to reach 30 × 30 in Canada

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Our analysis reveals progress on protected and conserved areas (PCAs) from 2010 to 2022, while outlining gaps where accelerated action is needed to deliver upon both the quantity and quality of PCAs under the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Large gaps in PCA coverage and associated Target 3 component indicators were prevalent in the Northern ...

Spatial conservation priorities for marine megafaunal predators: Multi‐taxon versus taxon‐specific approaches

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation for marine megafaunal predators needs to improve as they are key for ecosystem functioning. We show that different marine predator taxonomic groups have heterogeneous distributions resulting in different spatial conservation priority areas. Current Mediterranean MPAs are failing to sufficiently cover their distributions.

Assessing pathogen risk for wild bumblebees (Bombus spp., Apidae) in Canada

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Pathogen spillover poses a significant threat to wild bumble bees (Bombus spp.) in Canada. Our study maps areas of overlap between high conservation priority regions for bumble bees and regions of pathogen spillover risk from managed bees, incorporating uncertainty in pathogen prevalence.
