Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

The silent elephant in the room: Observed differences in calling behavior of African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) in a fragmented West African forest

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Small, fragmented populations of critically endangered species require different conservation strategies than large, contiguous populations, as they are vulnerable to local extinction, demographic shifts, and behavior changes. Effective management necessitates regular, systematic surveys to detect early warning signs of decline and facilitate ...

Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Pyrodiversity and Phylodiversity: Insights on Post‐Fire Forest Communities

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
Phylogenetic and taxonomic metrics can be useful ways to explore how the reintroduction of fire influences plant community assembly and diversity patterns. We leveraged a dataset of plant community samples collected before and after three fire events, pairing them with the first application of spatial phylogenetic methods at local spatiotemporal scales.

Geographical distribution of the Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus): Update and seasonal movement pattern

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1483-1499, October 2026.
The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...
