Phylogenomic analysis of ultraconserved elements clarifies relationships and morphological evolution in Cryptoplacoidea (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is a powerful tool for resolving phylogeny in groups with limited morphological or molecular data. Here, we use UCEs to reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the chiton superfamily Cryptoplacoidea, including museum material up to 133 years old.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...
