A contemporary map of Fasciola hepatica distribution in sheep and cattle in New South Wales
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Fasciola hepatica is a global threat to livestock production, human health, and food security. Infection causes significant reductions in milk production and quality, feed conversion efficiency, wool quality, and reproductive performance. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, data on the distribution of F. hepatica are more than 50 years out of date and

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Effects of nitrogen deposition on territory numbers of breeding birds
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Deposition of atmospheric N (nitrogen) is assumed to be a major cause of biodiversity decline in Europe. To date, few studies on the direct or indirect effects of N on bird species have been conducted. Using Swiss bird count data and habitat data, we analyzed the correlation of N deposition with numbers of territories of 112 breeding bird ...

Assessing the past and future impact of a long‐term island restoration program
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The IUCN Green Status of Species uses a qualitative and inferential approach to evaluate the past and expected future impacts of conservation on species recovery. Using this approach, we demonstrate the impact of a long‐term, multi‐organization conservation program in Mauritius in preventing the extinction of nine species, and the importance of ...
