Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.

Community‐derived solutions to increase citizen science participation
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Participatory co‐design yielded critical insights into volunteer engagement and retention associated with a citizen science program focused on reporting koala sightings in South East Queensland, Australia. Abstract Citizen science provides members of the public with the opportunity to be involved in conservation. Redlands Coast Koala Watch is funded by

A framework for monitoring ecosystem restoration at landscape scale
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The Landscape Restoration Monitoring Framework supports large‐scale ecosystem restoration projects to effectively assess progress towards outcomes. It provides guidance for the selection of indicators to assess change at two different time scales and across a diversity of ecosystem, ecosystem service, and socioeconomic dimensions.
