Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

The obsolescence of protected area categories in a polycrisis world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current global conservation models face significant limitations in addressing the global polycrisis, and the constraints of the International Union for Conservation of Nature protected area (PA) classification system are part of the issue. The principles of the new conservation paradigm—governance, equity, and interculturality—are not viable ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity loss is considered a major global issue, but at the same time, scientists interpret it differently, identifying varied drivers, solutions, and responsibilities in their published works. These interpretations shape the scientific narratives these scientists use to discuss biodiversity loss, which, in turn, affects policy through ...

Constraining Subsurface Connectivity by Water‐Trace Experiment in Deep, Semi‐Arid Karst Terrain
Groundwater, EarlyView.A water‐tracer experiment in Flagstaff, Arizona detected Rhodamine WT at a municipal well 2.7 km downgradient after 11‐13 d, yielding apparent horizontal groundwater velocities of 200‐250 m/d through >300 m of fractured carbonate. Results confirm rapid subsurface connectivity and managed aquifer recharge feasibility in deep, semi‐arid karst terrain ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Land use and climate change are two major environmental pressures that interact to impact insect biodiversity. We compared the impacts of land use alone and of the interaction between land use and climate change on the five major insect orders. Most impacted were the Lepidoptera, showing 91% lower total abundance in sites of high‐intensity agriculture ...
