Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

An effective model for community‐based conservation around authorized fishing settlements inside a devolved Wildlife Management Area in southern Tanzania

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study examines the relationship between community‐defined land use plans and de facto land use practices, and the influence of the latter on the relative abundance and distribution of large wild mammals across the Ifakara‐Lupiro‐Mangula (ILUMA) WMA, which acts as a key buffer zone between Nyerere National Park (NNP) to the east and adjacent ...

Conservation priorities for Neotropical water striders (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerridae) under climate change

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Hydrologic changes driven by climate change are affecting aquatic biota in the Neotropical Region, with significant impacts on water striders. Species distribution models predict an increase in conservation importance for the northern Andes and coastal areas of eastern South America, while central South America shows a decline. The observed changes are

Host plant use is driven by microclimate not nutritional quality in a grassland butterfly

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Small Copper butterflies (Lycaena phlaeas) choose to lay eggs on host plants growing in warmer microclimates, despite lower nitrogen content. Bare ground created by European Moles increases host plant temperatures and weakens the negative relationship between nitrogen content and microclimatic warmth.
