Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral species [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), were severely affected.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

A Dominant Founder Lineage Has Possible Fitness Costs for the Endangered Mexican Grey Wolf [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT The Mexican grey wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is an endangered and genetically distinct subspecies of grey wolf adapted to the warm climates of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Following centuries of eradication efforts, Mexican grey wolves were protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1976, prompting an international ex situ ...

Urbanization Drives Habitat Suitability of the Invasive Cuban Knight Anole (Anolis equestris) in Florida, USA [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study evaluates the climatic and anthropogenic factors driving the habitat suitability of the invasive Cuban knight anole (Anolis equestris) in Florida and its potential impact on three threatened invertebrate species through habitat overlap. Using species distribution models (SDMs), we found that urbanization strongly influences the anole's ...

Downlisting and recovery of species assessed by the IUCN [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Despite the increasing number of species assessed for extinction risk by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (163,040 species as of 2024), only about 1 in 1,000 have been downlisted due to genuine population improvement. Although this rare conservation achievement has been widely celebrated in several recent cases, some ...

Hobbyist preferences for pet freshwater turtles [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The burgeoning pet trade is a primary threat to wild freshwater turtles worldwide. Although the risks from commercial exploitation of turtles have been discussed widely, there is little empirical research on preferences for pet turtles from a hobbyists’ perspective.
