Comprehensive and representative conservation planning for biodiversity of ice‐free Antarctica
Abstract Antarctica is designated as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science, with Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) serving as the primary instrument for area‐based biodiversity protection. However, the existing ASPA network lacks the comprehensiveness and representativeness required under Annex V, Article 3(2), of the Madrid Protocol.

The wild honeybee population of Europe is in decline: Evidence from monitoring studies
Studying the population trends of wild honeybees is possible when considering that managed and wild colonies form different subpopulations within regional honeybee metapopualtions. Abstract Populations of wild western honeybees (Apis mellifera) have been neglected because the species has been considered to consist of managed colonies only.

In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...

Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird
Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.
