Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

Taxonomic and phylogenetic biases in translocated angiosperm plant species across European countries. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Conservation translocations are a well‐known conservation tool used to reverse the effects of local population extinctions and restore ecosystems. Compared with mammals and birds, plants are underrepresented in translocation programs, and little is known about the potential taxonomic and phylogenetic biases of plant translocation efforts.

Abundance, Diversity and Phenology of Mosquito Larvae in a Highly Anthropized Wetland: Health and Management Implications of Gándaras de Budiño (NW Spain). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe natural and anthropized wetland of Gándaras de Budiño (Galicia, Spain) hosts a great number of mosquito species. Culex pipiens s.l. and Culex torrentium pose an emerging risk for West Nile virus transmission. The temporary and polluted waters, as well as the summer and spring seasons, favor the larval proliferation of these vectors.

Global drivers of the conservation-invasion paradox. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Role of national regime ideology for predicting biodiversity outcomes. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The rapid decline of global biodiversity has engendered renewed debate about the social, economic, and political factors contributing to it. Specifically, there is little understanding of the role that political ideology within a country (e.g., nationalism, conservatism, socialism) plays in determining biodiversity outcomes.

Environmental determinants of West Nile virus vector abundance at the wildlife-livestock interface. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolMosquito communities in southern inland Iberia are dominated by highly competent vectors of West Nile virus. The coexistence of Culex pipiens and Culex theileri in southern inland Iberia indicates that both species should be involved in West Nile virus transmission.
