Use of species' responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii - enemy release and plant-soil feedbacks. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

A systematic review of snake translocations to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Advancements in the field of reintroduction biology are needed, but understanding of how to effectively conduct translocations, particularly with snakes, is lacking. We conducted a systematic review of snake translocation studies to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects. We included studies on intentional, human‐mediated,

Modeling total predation to avoid perverse outcomes from cat control in a data‐poor island ecosystem

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Data‐hungry, complex ecosystem models are often used to predict the consequences of threatened species management, including perverse outcomes. Unfortunately, this approach is impractical in the many systems that have insufficient data to parameterize ecosystem interactions or reliably calibrate or validate such models.

Climate suitability as a predictor of conservation translocation failure

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1473-1481, December 2020., 2020
Abstract The continuing decline and loss of biodiversity has caused an increase in the use of interventionist conservation tools, such as translocation. However, many translocation attempts fail to establish viable populations, with poor release site selection often flagged as an inhibitor of success.

Improving the use of expert opinion in disease risk analysis for conservation translocations

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Conservation translocations are subject to considerable uncertainty and risk, of which disease is one of the most recognized. To address disease risks, several protocols for qualitative disease risk analysis (qDRA) exist and are used for responsible conservation translocation planning.

Assessing population viability and management strategies for species recovery of the critically endangered Puerto Rican parrot

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 104-118, February 2025.
Recovery of endangered species is challenging, especially when it involves reintroduction and dynamic environmental conditions. We developed a population viability analysis (PVA) for the critically endangered Puerto Rican parrot to evaluate current status and potential future management strategies.

Potencial invasor de los galápagos exóticos en el País Vasco = Invasive potential of exotic turtles in the Basque Country. [PDF]

Munibe Ciencias Naturales, 2005
La comercialización masiva de galápagos exóticos como mascotas y su liberación indiscriminada al medio natural pueden provocar una invasión perjudicial para especies autóctonas.

Simulating the efficacy of wolf–dog hybridization management with individual‐based modeling

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
In the photo, an introgressed adult wolf–dog in the Northern Apennines, Italy, not far from the city of Bologna. Part of a research program, this male has been sterilized and released back in its own pack with a Global Positioning Collar. Abstract Introgressive hybridization between wolves and dogs is a conservation concern due to its potentially ...
