Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Chilean wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces with greater biomass, yield stability, and intrinsic WUE than modern varieties are an opportunity for adaptation to severe drought areas

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
In Mediterranean environments, wheat often faces water scarcity during grain filling. The spike growth period may also be affected under severe drought conditions, which are becoming increasingly frequent due to ongoing climate change. Selection for high

Evaluating past and future contributions of conservation programs to species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Impact evaluation of conservation actions is a crucial step in global efforts to curb the biodiversity crisis. Through robust impact evaluation, practitioners can assess the effectiveness of conservation strategies and optimize the use of limited resources.

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

An integrated approach to balance freshwater connectivity restoration and invasion risk

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat fragmentation negatively affects many native migratory fish populations. However, this fragmentation can also prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species. We modified the dendritic connectivity index (DCI), a commonly used freshwater connectivity metric, to account for multiple invasive dispersal pathways in estimates of ...

Automating the analysis of public saliency and attitudes toward biodiversity from digital media

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring public attitudes toward wildlife provides crucial insights into human relationships with nature and helps monitor progress toward Global Biodiversity Framework targets. Yet, conducting such assessments at a global scale presents challenges.

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...
