Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Insights for conservation from the Ecological Knowledge Games project

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Environmental conservation research requires robust methods for collecting large‐scale behavioral data and engaging diverse stakeholders in decision‐making processes. We (Y.P., A.B.D., and N.B.) created EcoKnowGames (Ecological Knowledge Games), a transdisciplinary project that develops knowledge games for conservation science and data ...

Risks of concealing environmental degradation

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Spatio‐Temporal Dynamics of Asian Clams in Two Mediterranean Canals

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid spread of the non‐native invasive Asian clam (Corbicula spp.) has been linked to the catastrophic decline of native freshwater mussel assemblages in Europe and North and South America. This study evaluates the spatio‐temporal dynamics and shell size structure of the Asian clam within two Mediterranean canals: Canal Imperial de Aragón

Curating landscapes to encourage care for biodiversity through arts and citizen science

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3110-3121, September 2026.
Abstract This study investigates how combining Citizen Science and Art workshops within curated wildflower meadows can generate repeated, positive experiences with nature, and foster a sense of care for it. The project aimed to increase awareness, encourage responsibility, and develop competencies related to urban nature.

Use of organic mulch to enhance water-use efficiency and peach production under limiting soil conditions in a three-year-old orchard

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015
Mulching techniques have emerged in recent years to overcome soil constraints and improve fruit tree productivity. The object of this study was to evaluate the effects of a low-cost organic mulch application in a newly planted peach orchard under a ridge

Impact of Poverty on Health in Developing Countries

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study found that poverty is a key constraint on health in developing countries, and that poverty reduction in low‐ to moderate‐level poverty has a more significant marginal effect on health improvement, far exceeding the impact of economic growth alone.

Phylogeny Drives Carrion Consumption by Vertebrate Scavengers Towards Distantly Related Species

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
Carrion is a highly nutritious resource that plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, but may pose pathogen risks, particularly between phylogenetically close carcass‐scavenger pairs. Using camera traps, we assessed how phylogenetic distance influenced scavenging in a Mediterranean wetland.
