Tourism, human–wildlife interactions, and wildlife trade in the globalizing Amazon

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Tourism in the globalizing Peruvian Amazon contributes to harmful human–wildlife interactions and the wildlife trade, with tourists participating in activities such as handling wildlife, taking selfies with animals, purchasing live animals, and wild meat consumption.

Fewer devil rays in the sea: Evidence of declining mobulid populations off India's coast

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Manta and devil rays are declining globally due to targeted and incidental capture, but species‐specific assessments are limited by unmonitored fisheries. Using morphometric, demographic, and fishery metrics, we show for the first time in India long‐term (2013–2023) declines in Mobula mobular, Mobula tarapacana, Mobula birostris, and Mobula thurstoni ...

Examining the efficacy of a sanctuary to protect sharks in the Galapagos Marine Reserve

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In 2016, Ecuador established a no‐take marine sanctuary in the northern portion of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR), ostensibly to protect sharks. Arguably because of this, experimental longlining was permitted in the rest of the reserve as part of a compensation package to local fishers. Considering this agreement and very low bycatch rates

Local Adaptation to Current but Not Future Climate in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests: Population Genomic Evidence in a Neotropical Legume Tree

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Neotropical seasonally dry biomes are amongst the world's most threatened ecosystems and are predicted to lose more biodiversity with climate change. The capacity of natural populations to respond to these changes depends on their genetic variation, but is poorly understood in most Neotropical seasonally dry forest species.

Thermophilization: Concepts, Methods, and Implications of Changes in Community Composition due to Global Warming

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
As many species shift their geographic ranges coldward due to global warming, communities will undergo “thermophilization”—the increasing relative abundance of warm‐adapted (“thermophilic”) species and the concomitant decrease of cold‐adapted species over time.
