Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

Identification of Priority Areas for Conservation of Threatened Agamid Lizards of Sri Lanka Using Species Distribution Modeling 斯里兰卡濒危蜥蜴 (鬣蜥科) 保护优先区域的识别:基于物种分布模型的研究

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 188-204, June 2025.
We assessed the distribution of 14 threatened agamid lizard species using Species Distribution Modeling to identify hotspots for these species' conservation. Based on the results, high‐priority areas of threatened agamids were projected to occur specially in the wet zone.

Long‐Distance Corridors Facilitate Asian Elephant Adaptation to Climate Change 长距离廊道有助于亚洲象适应气候变化

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 57-70, March 2025.
Climate change presents significant challenges for Asian elephants, forcing them to either remain in degraded habitats or seek new ones. But, remaining would lead to resource shortages, while moving is hindered by movement barriers. This study integrates species distribution models (MaxEnt) and the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model to construct

Different Responses of Two Endangered Sister Tree Species to Climate Change: A Comparison Between Island and Continental Populations in Tropical Asia 两个濒危姊妹物种对气候变化的不同响应:热带亚洲岛屿与大陆种群的比较

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 95-106, March 2025.
Climate change is widely recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and a critical factor contributing to the decline of species and populations. The study investigates the differential impacts of climate change on endangered continental and island specie.

Conservation Gap Within a Nature Reserve: A Case Study in the Biodiversity Hotspot of Rare and Endangered Plants at the Southern Gaoligong Mountains 高黎贡山南段稀有濒危植物保护空缺分析

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 71-84, March 2025.
Gaoligong Mountain is home to a large number of rare and endangered species, but the effectiveness of conservation measures in the Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve remains uncertain. We predicted the potential distribution areas of 361 rare and endangered wild plants in southern Gaoligong Mountain under current and future climate change scenarios and ...

Projected Climate Scenarios Reveal an Expanding Suitable Habitat for the Critically Endangered African White‐Backed Vulture Gyps africanus 预测的气候情景揭示了极危非洲白背兀鹫的适宜栖息地不断扩展

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 398-409, December 2024.
Understanding the potential impacts of projected climate change scenarios on critically endangered species is critical to guide effective conservation planning. Species distribution modelling techniques such as MaxEnt are increasingly becoming important tools for predicting habitat shifts in response to projected climate change scenarios.

Environmental niche models improve species identification in DNA barcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, Page 2343-2358, December 2024.
Abstract Recent advances in DNA barcoding have immeasurably advanced global biodiversity research in the last two decades. However, inherent limitations in barcode sequences, such as hybridization, introgression or incomplete lineage sorting can lead to misidentifications when relying solely on barcode sequences.

A standard approach for including climate change responses in IUCN Red List assessments

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is a central tool for extinction risk monitoring and influences global biodiversity policy and action. But, to be effective, it is crucial that it consistently accounts for each driver of extinction.

Wildlife mortality risk posed by high and low traffic roads

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Wildlife mortality due to collisions with vehicles (roadkill) is one of the predominant negative effects exerted by roads on many wildlife species. Reducing roadkill is therefore a major component of wildlife conservation. Roadkill is affected by various factors, including road attributes and traffic volume.

基于MaxEnt模型的中国鲎与圆尾鲎潜在栖息地评估与生态位特征分析

Haiyang yu huzhao
鲎作为生物进化史上的活化石，是一种极其珍贵的自然资源。近年来，人为因素导致鲎栖息地丧失日益严重。该研究运用MaxEnt模型对中国鲎与圆尾鲎在全球范围内的潜在栖息地进行了全面评估，并深入分析了其生态位特征。通过整合地理分布数据与环境变量，构建了高精度的生态位模型(中国鲎训练集AUC值为0.996 3, 测试集AUC值为0.995 8; 圆尾鲎训练集AUC值为0.998 0, 测试集AUC值为0.997 2)。研究结果显示，中国鲎与圆尾鲎的潜在栖息地分布存在显著差异，且均受到多种环境因素(水深 ...
