Colonial Cartography and World Heritage Valuing in Takayna Country: A Reflection on the Use of the Simple Additive Weighted Method

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In many regions there are disputes about future land use that make knowledge of spatial variation in conservation value an important input to negotiation. Current approaches to measuring spatial conservation values for the purposes of recognition and protection remain largely trapped in colonising cartographic methodologies that marginalise ...

A network analysis of failure pathways for fish and fish habitat offsets

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Biodiversity offsets are widely used to compensate for environmental impacts, yet failures often arise from interacting factors rather than isolated issues. By analyzing co‐occurrence patterns across 48 fish and fish habitat case studies, we identify five recurring failure syndromes: foundational, implementation uncertainty, biological, hydrological ...

Environmental DNA succeeds in detecting a low‐density population of endangered harlequin frogs

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This work evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect the Critically Endangered Jambato Harlequin Frog (Atelopus ignescens)—an iconic species once thought extinct and now known only from a single locality in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of eDNA in detecting the Jambato in a low‐density amphibian population,

Landscape Mapping Reveals Depth‐Dependent Regional Heterogeneity in Soil Microbial Diversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To identify microbial hotspots and investigate the spatial distribution and assembly mechanisms of soil bacterial and archaeal communities across a coastal ecosystem, and to assess implications for biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management. Location Yellow River Delta, China (YRD, ~13,680 km2 coastal plain). Methods A total

Edge‐Rich Landscapes Promote Genetic Diversity While Arable Land Restricts It: Landscape‐Genomic Patterns Across Three Insect Species in an Agriculture‐Dominated Grassland Mosaic

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat loss and agricultural intensification are major drivers of insect decline, yet their consequences for intraspecific genetic diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we used landscape genomics to compare genome‐wide diversity, population differentiation and spatial patterns of gene flow in two butterfly species (Polyommatus icarus ...

Assessing Future Maladaptation Risk in the Keystone Species Populus tremuloides

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the adaptive potential of widespread trees is critical for predicting species resilience under climate change and informing their conservation strategies. We assessed the genomic offset in Populus tremuloides Michx. (aspen) using 10,937 genotyping‐by‐sequencing derived, high‐quality SNPs from 891 individuals sampled across the ...

From Reactive Remediation to Predictive Prevention: A Systems Synthesis of Global Soil Salinization and Sodicity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Salty soils are spreading across the world's farmland, often building up unnoticed for years before crop yields fall sharply and repair becomes slow and costly. Our review shows that this damage comes from linked problems in soil chemistry, water management, and policy, so fixing any one of them alone rarely works.
