Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1160-1174, July 2026.The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1550-1560, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.
