Long transient response of vegetation dynamics after four millennia of anthropogenic impacts in an island ecosystem. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 In the Mediterranean region, island ecosystem dynamics have been influenced by millennia of anthropogenic impacts. Here, we analysed the spatio‐temporal dynamics of vegetation in sa Dragonera, where herbivory by goats, over‐logging and rat occurrence ended in the last decades.

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Effectiveness of protected areas in the Caucasus Mountains in preventing rangeland degradation. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract As land use intensifies globally, it increasingly exerts pressure on protected areas. Despite open, nonforested landscapes comprising up to 40% of protected areas globally, assessments have predominately focused on forests, overlooking the major pressures on rangelands from livestock overgrazing and land conversion.

Silvopastoral systems benefit invertebrate biodiversity on tropical livestock farms in Caquetá, Colombia. [PDF]
Agric For EntomolAbstract In the Colombian Amazon, there has been long‐term and sustained loss of primary forest threatening biodiversity and climate change mitigation. Silvopastoral practices that integrate trees into livestock production could help address both local economic and wider environmental challenges.

Evaluating institutional fit for the conservation of threatened species
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1437-1450, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Recovery and conservation of threatened species require adequate institutional responses. We tested an approach to systematically identify and measure how an institutional framework acknowledges threats and required responses for the recovery of endangered species.
