Global consequences of dam‐induced river fragmentation on diadromous migrants: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global proliferation of dams has altered flow and sediment regimes in rivers, presenting a major threat to freshwater biodiversity. Diadromous species, such as fishes, decapod crustaceans and gastropods, are particularly susceptible to fragmentation because dams obstruct their breeding migrations between coastal waters and rivers. Although

Effectiveness of Key Biodiversity Areas in representing global avian diversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the largest and most complete network of significant sites for the global persistence of biodiversity. Although important sites for birds worldwide have been relatively well assessed, a key question is how effectively the global KBA network represents avian diversity.

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Disentangling mechanisms that mediate soil fungal α and β diversity during forest secondary succession

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

Regional Biomes outperform broader spatial units in capturing biodiversity responses to land‐use change

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Biogeographic context, such as biome type, has a critical influence on ecological resilience, as climatic and environmental conditions impact how communities respond to anthropogenic threats. For example, land‐use change causes a greater loss of biodiversity in tropical biomes compared to temperate biomes.
