Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

Methodology to identify ecologically matching areas and its applications in conservation planning

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying ecologically matching areas is both challenging and critical for understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity and advancing conservation planning. However, existing approaches often lack spatial flexibility, overlook shape and size constraints, or rely on limited environmental parameters, reducing their effectiveness in real ...

Codesigning synergies among ecological, social, and economic benefits with landscape‐scale agri‐environmental schemes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global farmland biodiversity is declining rapidly, threatening both natural ecosystems and agricultural production. Although agri‐environmental schemes incentivize farmers to adopt environmentally friendly measures, the spatial mismatch between their local implementation and the landscape‐scale habitat requirements of farmland species has been

How Does the Regional ESG Context Drive the ESG Preferences of Retail Investors?

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on a large and representative sample of Italian adults, the paper investigates the determinants of retail investors’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) preferences. Unlike previous literature, the study explicitly focuses on the role of the regional ESG context, which appears important in shaping these preferences.

The management of Natura 2000 Network sites: a discrete choice experiment approach [PDF]

One of the main problems that public institutions face in the management of protected areas, such as the European Natura 2000 network, is how to design and implement sustainable management plans accounting both for the social cost and benefits of ...

Recovery of Four Commercial Fish Stocks in Lake IJsselmeer (The Netherlands) After Major Fishery Management Interventions

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable management of inland fisheries presents major challenges because it often involves complex and open access systems. Lake IJsselmeer is among the largest freshwater lakes in western Europe and supports active commercial fisheries.

Cetacean Conservation in the Pelagos Sanctuary: Status and Proposal for Its Improvement

Diversity
The Pelagos Sanctuary hosts eight resident cetacean species. Genetically different from Atlantic populations, their conservation is essential to preserve the whole biodiversity of the Ligurian Sea.

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

Ibis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.
