Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...
