Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

Environmental DNA detection of three threatened stream frog species suggests widespread presence of two species and widespread loss of one

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We conducted eDNA surveys of stream water for three Endangered frog species. The Critically Endangered Armoured Mistfrog was only detected in one catchment. The two other species were detected more widely, increasing the known populations. Abstract Amphibians face severe threats globally, with the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

From research to conservation: Site selection for habitat restoration of a narrowly distributed and critically endangered butterfly

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study focuses on the conservation of a rare butterfly in northwestern Italy threatened by woody encroachment. Using field data, topography, and remote sensing, we modelled habitat suitability and connectivity. A 0.6‐ha site was selected for restoration, illustrating how predictive models can guide targeted conservation actions.

Green Developmentalism? The Political Economy of Hydropower in India in the 21st Century

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article critically examines the political economy of hydropower in India since its global reconfiguration as ‘green energy’ in the early 2000s. While an opportune convergence of interests among key global, national and subnational stakeholders contributed to the greening of hydropower in India, this reframing did not produce the expected ...

Integrating remote‐sensing and meteorological data to identify key drivers of the potential distribution of a grassland grasshopper

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
An ensemble model achieved excellent accuracy (AUC = 0.973) in predicting the potential distribution of O. decorus asiaticus. Climate (temperature & August precipitation) and vegetation type are the primary drivers defining the species' suitable habitats.
