The link between colorfulness and extinction risk across the world's passerine birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many of the functional traits that mediate extinction risk across the range of biodiversity relate indirectly to a species’ ability to persist in a changing world, yet certain traits such as coloration directly affect human interactions with wildlife.

Biodiversity Conservation in the Context of Tropical Forest Management

, 2000
This paper disaggregates the term "biodiversity" into components (landscapes, ecosystems, communities, species/populations, and genes) and attributes (structure, composition, and function).

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Key practices for ethical research during scientific expeditions

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
In many cases, expeditionary practices undermined local knowledge and expertise. This perspective advocates for a shift from parachute science towards a collaborative research approach. We reflect on and suggest best practices during scientific expeditions within research teams and in the team's interactions with different communities.

Two new species of the banjo catfish Bunocephalus Kner (Siluriformes: Aspredinidae) from the upper and middle rio São Francisco basins, Brazil

Neotropical Ichthyology
Two new species of banjo catfish of the genus Bunocephalus are described from the upper and middle rio São Francisco basins of Brazil. Bunocephalus hartti is distinguished from all its congeners by the absence of serrations along the anterior margin of ...

Importance of using genetic data to inform conservation captive breeding: A tale of two species of threatened macaws (Ara spp.)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Unmanaged captive populations of threatened species often harbor hidden genetic risks, so using genomic tools, we audited a large private macaw collection and uncovered extensive hybridization and high inbreeding. Our findings provide an actionable framework for how routine genetic screening can be used to mitigate these risks, manage captive breeding ...
