Role of freshwater availability and terrestrial land‐cover change in the distribution of a declining, terrestrial, insectivorous bird

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective.

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Distance of movement in three threatened butterfly species

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Multi‐year mark–recapture analysis using net displacement and Cormack–Jolly–Seber models shows similar daily detectability (0.17–0.22) among species, supporting robust interspecific comparisons. Dispersal kernels differ: lognormal best for Euphydryas aurinia and Parnassius apollo, exponential for Phengaris arion; P.
