Integrating Multiple‐Covariate Distance Sampling and Habitat Modeling to Inform Conservation of the Asian Houbara in Central Iran

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We combined multiple‐covariate distance sampling (MCDS) with habitat modeling to estimate the abundance and habitat associations of the vulnerable Asian houbara (Chlamydotis macqueenii) in central Iran. Line‐transect surveys in spring 2022 yielded an estimated density of 0.53 individuals/km2 (~5293 birds), with nearly identical results from ...

Urbanization and Spatial Aggregation Impair Multifunctionality in Urban Vacant Lots

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides the first assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in urban vacant lots. Although urbanization and spatial aggregation of vacant lots impaired multifunctionality, soil moisture improved it. ABSTRACT Urban shrinkage, driven by population decline rather than expansion, is an emerging concern in many developed ...
