Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species' traits. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Characterization of dark chocolates based on polyphenolic profiles and antioxidant activity. [PDF]

J Food Sci
Abstract Dark chocolates were characterized according to geographical origin, cocoa variety, and cocoa content using the methylxanthine and polyphenolic composition and antioxidant activity as the data. The main study objective was to uncover sample patterns and identify possible markers of quality, variety, or origin to deal with authentication or ...

Simulating drifting fish aggregating device trajectories to identify potential interactions with endangered sea turtles. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Purse‐seine fishers using drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), mainly built with bamboo, plastic buoys, and plastic netting, to aggregate and catch tropical tuna, deploy 46,000–65,000 dFADs per year in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the major concerns associated with this widespread fishing device are potential entanglement of sea turtles ...

Red‐list status and extinction risk of the world's whales, dolphins, and porpoises

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract To understand the scope and scale of the loss of biodiversity, tools are required that can be applied in a standardized manner to all species globally, spanning realms from land to the open ocean. We used data from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List to provide a synthesis of the conservation status and extinction ...

The Art of Assemblage at La Venta

Art History, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 832-857, September 2022., 2022
How might the meaning of monumental sculpture be ephemeral? At La Venta, objects from greenstone figurines to massive basalt sculptures were recycled, reworked, and moved around the landscape, their new configurations and associations creating new kinds of meaning and enabling new kinds of ritual interaction.

Identifying management opportunities to combat climate, land, and marine threats across less climate exposed coral reefs

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Conserving coral reefs is critical for maintaining marine biodiversity, protecting coastlines, and supporting livelihoods in many coastal communities. Climate change threatens coral reefs globally, but researchers have identified a portfolio of coral reefs (bioclimatic units [BCUs]) that are relatively less exposed to climate impacts and ...

The relative importance of COVID‐19 pandemic impacts on biodiversity conservation globally

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022
Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on almost all aspects of human society and endeavor; the natural world and its conservation have not been spared. Through a process of expert consultation, we identified and categorized, into 19 themes and 70 subthemes, the ways in which biodiversity and its conservation have been or could be ...
