Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Green Equals Green? The Divergent Policy Logics of Climate and Biodiversity Governance

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Market‐based instruments (MBIs) are increasingly promoted in international biodiversity and climate governance. This article argues that biodiversity policy has distinct dynamics and complexities that require approaches beyond economic instruments. By analyzing key concepts such as ecosystem services, biodiversity offsets, and MBIs, this study

Changes in the transformative potential of action proposals in Finnish Red Lists from 1986 to 2019

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Red lists provide critical knowledge regarding biodiversity decline, especially in Finland, where broad assessments have been made regularly since the 1980s. They deliver information on the threat status of species and ecosystems, propose actions to guide conservation policy, and have the potential to spur transformative change.

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...
