A habitat-based approach to reporting the direct impacts of an organization on biodiversity. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract There is a rapidly growing need for efficient but rigorous methods for organizations to assess and disclose their biodiversity impacts. We devised a habitat‐based analytical approach for estimating the direct impacts of an organization on biodiversity.

Differences in estimates of extinction risk between occupancy and abundance data. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Temporal trends in populations are often measured with presence–absence and abundance data. These data types are inherently different, but quantitative comparisons of threat statuses assessed through occupancy or abundance data are currently lacking.

Integrating data to assess occupancy patterns of an endangered bumble bee. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract There is growing interest in integrating community science data with structured monitoring data to estimate changes in distribution patterns of imperiled species, including pollinators. However, significant challenges remain in determining how unstructured community science data should be incorporated into formal analyses of species ...

Downlisting and recovery of species assessed by the IUCN. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Despite the increasing number of species assessed for extinction risk by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (163,040 species as of 2024), only about 1 in 1,000 have been downlisted due to genuine population improvement. Although this rare conservation achievement has been widely celebrated in several recent cases, some ...

Taxonomic and phylogenetic biases in translocated angiosperm plant species across European countries. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Conservation translocations are a well‐known conservation tool used to reverse the effects of local population extinctions and restore ecosystems. Compared with mammals and birds, plants are underrepresented in translocation programs, and little is known about the potential taxonomic and phylogenetic biases of plant translocation efforts.

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

Tropical Land-Use Change Disrupts Zeta-Diversity Across Taxa. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We studied birds, dung beetles, and orchids across natural and human‐transformed habitats in the Colombian Andes to understand how land‐use change affects biodiversity. We found that deforestation simplifies ecological communities and reduces both rare and widespread species, especially orchids.

A global indicator of species recovery. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Monitoring progress toward meeting global biodiversity goals involves several indicators, including, at the species level, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI) and the Living Planet Index (LPI). However, at present, there is no indicator specifically for tracking species recovery, despite this being ...

Advancing at-risk species recovery planning in an era of rapid ecological change with a transparent, flexible, and expert-engaged approach. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract In the face of unprecedented ecological changes, the conservation community needs strategies to recover species at risk of extinction. On the Island of Maui, we collaborated with species experts and managers to assist with climate‐resilient recovery planning for 36 at‐risk native plant species by identifying priority areas for the management ...
