Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

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

Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia. We explored whether messages about the legal and health risks of using elephant skin for medicinal purposes (stomach illness) could reduce such consumption.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Reversing ongoing biodiversity loss requires effectively managing anthropogenic threats. Although conservation actions can mitigate these threats, prioritizing and targeting such actions remain challenging because species respond differently depending on the nature of the threats and their biological traits.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are
