Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.We show that deadwood volume is a reliable, taxon‐specific indicator of the presence of red‐listed bryophytes and fungi but not lichens. By explicitly focusing on threatened species and deriving statistically defined thresholds from managed boreal forests, our study provides empirical benchmarks that go beyond commonly used biodiversity indicators. The

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our study demonstrates that the commonness and red‐list status of ecosystem types can be informative of biodiversity measures in terms of species richness at selected spatial scales. The scale‐dependence of these indicators and the inverse relationship between red‐list status and commonness illustrate that conservation strategies must consider several ...

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 285-297, June 2026.The rapid expansion of wind energy across the Mediterranean region calls for more advanced tools to assess and mitigate its impacts on biodiversity. In this study, we present an innovative approach combining 13‐year satellite imagery analysis and ecological modelling, to assess the spatiotemporal overlap between wind energy development and habitat ...

Survival Remains High in Griffon Vultures 40 Years After Reintroduction
Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 307-320, June 2026.The reintroduction of the Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) in French Grands Causses in 1981 is largely regarded as a significant translocation success. 40 years of quality data from intensive monitoring allows us to investigate the survival rates in this long‐lived population on the long term, but also to reflect on the crucial role of adaptive management

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.Shows the spatiotemporal predictability of wintering eiders based on monitoring data from 1993–2023 with intertidal and subtidal Marine Protected Areas (yellow and green, respectively), and a depiction of the current mismatch between eider hotspots and protection measures. Abstract Migratory animals often follow predictable spatiotemporal distributions

Priority Areas for Preserving Angiosperm Evolutionary History in the Iberian Peninsula
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To identify areas with a high concentration of threatened evolutionary history and to evaluate how effectively the current network of protected areas encompasses them, focusing on the global conservation relevance of angiosperms native to a regional biodiversity hotspot.

Leveraging Roadless Areas to Support Strict Protection in the EU
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Strictly protected areas exhibit lower levels of disturbance to habitats and species and are central to biodiversity conservation. Yet only 4% of the EU's land is currently placed under strict protection, far below the 10% target set by the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. This study examines the potential of roadless areas to contribute
