Important areas at sea for adult loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: satellite tracking corroborates findings from potentially biased sources [PDF]

, 2018
Sea turtle populations worldwide suffer from reduced survival of immatures and adults due to fishery bycatch. Unfortunately, information about the whereabouts of turtles outside the breeding habitat is scarce in most areas, hampering the development of ...

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline

Oikos, EarlyView.
Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.

The influence of wildlife images on conservation intentions: Investigating the mediating role of emotion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human actions can not only contribute to species extinction but also offer a path towards preventing it. Therefore, it is essential for conservation communicators to identify optimal communication methods to encourage positive pro‐conservation behaviours.

The importance of integrating herbarium records into conservation plans: a case study on Honduran ferns and lycophytes

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbarium collections are powerful, yet underutilized, tools for global biodiversity conservation and protected area management. By integrating digitized herbarium records with existing biodiversity data, previously unknown plant species were uncovered, exposing critical gaps in conservation knowledge.

Minimizing Vessel Strikes to Endangered Whales: A Crash Course in Conservation Science and Policy [PDF]

, 2009
The North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered of all large whales: about 350-400 individuals remain. Species recovery is, in part, contingent on reducing vessel-strike mortality.
