Modeling population effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on a long-lived species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill exposed common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Bay, Louisiana to heavy oiling that caused increased mortality and chronic disease and impaired reproduction in surviving dolphins. We conducted photographic surveys and veterinary assessments in the decade following the spill.

The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

Effects of seagrass restoration on coastal fish abundance and diversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Restoration is accelerating to reverse global declines of key habitats and recover lost ecosystem functions, particularly in coastal ecosystems. However, there is high uncertainty about the long‐term capacity of restored ecosystems to provide habitat and increase biodiversity and the degree to which these ecosystem services are mediated by ...

Recovery of insular seabird populations years after rodent eradication

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Seabirds have been particularly affected by invasive non‐native species, which has led to the implementation of numerous eradication campaigns for the conservation of these keystone and highly vulnerable species. Although the benefits of eradication of invasive non‐native species for seabird conservation have been demonstrated, the recovery ...

Respuesta de los escarabajos carroñeros Nicrophorus olidus y Oxelytrum discicolle (Coleoptera: Silphidae) a la restauración activa y pasiva en un paisaje de bosque de niebla en México

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2023
La restauración activa y la restauración pasiva son estrategias utilizadas para recuperar paisajes forestales. Pocos estudios han evaluado la recuperación de la fauna comparando diferentes estrategias de restauración de la misma edad en un paisaje ...

Evaluating the impact of caribou habitat restoration on predator and prey movement

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Fragmentation of the boreal forest by linear features, including seismic lines, has destabilized predator–prey dynamics, resulting in the decline of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations. Restoration of human‐altered habitat has therefore been identified as a critical management tool for achieving self‐sustaining woodland ...

A roadmap for ladybird conservation and recovery

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) provide services that are critical to food production, and they fulfill an ecological role as a food source for predators. The richness, abundance, and distribution of ladybirds, however, are compromised by many anthropogenic threats.
