A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

Assessment of ecosystem status in Mozambique and implications for environmental planning

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assess Mozambique's terrestrial ecosystems using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework, showing that more than half of Mozambique's ecosystems are threatened, with impacts primarily concentrated in temperate subhumid grasslands and pyric tussock savannas.

Home ranges, feeding sites, and daily movement behavior of the highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat revealed through GPS tracking

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livingstone's fruit bat GPS tracks during day‐ and nighttime on Anjouan, Comoros, identifying likely feeding sites. Abstract The highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat, Pteropus livingstonii, is endemic to only two islands of the Union of the Comoros, a country with some of the highest deforestation rates worldwide.

Carbon finance initiatives can provide biodiversity benefits

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the biodiversity co‐benefits of a REDD+ initiative in the tropical forests of Sierra Leone and Liberia using a quasi‐experimental study design. Complementary measures from bioacoustics and DNA metabarcoding revealed that REDD+‐financed protected areas were associated with additional biodiversity benefits compared to control areas.
