Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Regulatory compliance and support for altered management of the exotic pet trade
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Globally, the exotic pet trade has contributed to species invasion, disease, and animal welfare risks. Although scientists have advocated for increased trade regulation, the success of management and regulatory efforts depends on compliance by participants in the exotic pet trade. We used a regulatory compliance framework to investigate exotic

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Contemporary conservation goals have a greater chance of success when practitioners collaborate with Indigenous communities. The importance of such collaborations has spurred calls by Western and Indigenous researchers to engage in equitable coproduction of ecological research that integrates multiple ways of knowing.

Risks of concealing environmental degradation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Women living with diabetes: Overlooked and under‐recognised, the psychosocial impact
Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Aim Diabetes intersects with women's reproductive and sexual health across the life course; however, the psychosocial implications of key reproductive transitions remain under‐recognised in research and clinical practice. This review synthesised evidence on the psychosocial impacts of diabetes during menstruation, pregnancy, the menopausal ...
