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 ...

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 ...

Equity considerations in the proposed wildlife protocol to the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildlife trafficking poses a critical threat to global biodiversity, contributes to organized crime, and has disproportionate impacts on underserved and Indigenous communities. Although international legal instruments, such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and institutional collaborations,

Relationship between Vegetation and Soil Moisture Anomalies Based on Remote Sensing Data: A Semiarid Rangeland Case

Remote Sensing
The dynamic of rangelands results from complex interactions between vegetation, soil, climate, and human activity. This scenario makes rangeland’s condition challenging to monitor, and degradation assessment should be carefully considered when studying ...

An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.

A practical, adaptive compliance management framework for improving marine protected area effectiveness

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noncompliance regularly undermines the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) worldwide. The reasons for and drivers of noncompliance depend on the context (e.g., insufficient funding, capacity, neocolonialism, historical conflict), but the prevalent solution offered to curtail noncompliance tends to be more or better enforcement.
