Habitat Protection Alone Is Insufficient: Costa Rican Parrots Thrive in Altered Landscapes but Remain Vulnerable to Poaching

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Human population growth and resource overexploitation have induced major changes in global biodiversity. Costa Rica, with 26% of its land area protected, is often cited as a model of environmental conservation. However, conservation efforts have largely focused on habitat preservation, while overharvesting remains an unquantified factor in

Tracing Waterbirds in Water: A Pilot Study on the Utility of eDNA Monitoring for Inland Australian Waterbirds

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Australia's vast network of inland wetlands attracts thousands of waterbirds to congregate and breed during ‘boom’ periods of rainfall and productivity. Monitoring waterbird biodiversity predominantly relies on annual aerial and ground‐based surveys, which may miss rare or elusive species of conservation importance.

Birds, Bats or Climate? Eucalypt Floral Traits Reflect Pollination Over Abiotic Environment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Flower colour and size have evolved in tandem in the eucalypts, with larger and more colourful flowers arising multiple times in southwest Western Australia. Eucalypt flower size and colour are more strongly associated with the vertebrate pollination environment—especially the absence of flower‐visiting bats—than with climatic or soil conditions ...
