The Wind of Change: Mapping Wind Energy Growth and Multi‐Species Vulnerability in Sardinia, Mediterranean

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
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 ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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, EarlyView.
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
