Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Field‐based evidence of impaired sperm quality associated with conventional farming in two passerine birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
The detrimental effects of conventional farming on bird biodiversity are increasingly documented. Despite this, the specific impacts of both organic and conventional farming practices on bird coloration and sperm quality in natural settings remain unexplored. This study aimed to determine whether these farming practices differentially affect body mass,

Critical tipping points in dung beetle communities: Implications for conservation in the Atlantic Forest biome

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Minor land‐use changes consistently lead to abrupt biodiversity shifts across all diversity dimensions, favoring generalist dung beetle species while excluding sensitive specialists. These shifts are observed at lower environmental change rates than previously considered, with significant changes apparent after just 25% habitat loss.
