Management practices to enhance wildlife diversity of man-made fish ponds: the importance of the hydroperiod

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2015
We examined correlates of amphibian and waterbird diversity related to management practices, with a focus on timing of flooding, at shallow ponds used for common carp Cyprinus carpio culture in Eastern Poland.

Amphibians' Expansion to Record Elevations Influences Chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) Infection Dynamics

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.

Coupling Time-Series Sentinel-2 Imagery with Multi-Scale Landscape Metrics to Decipher Seasonal Waterbird Diversity Patterns

Remote Sensing
Seasonal dynamics in wetland landscapes are closely associated with habitat availability and are likely to influence the spatial organization and diversity of waterbird communities. However, most existing studies rely on static land-cover representations

Widespread Detection of Amphibian Pathogens in Frog‐Biting Midges (Corethrellidae): Implications for Xenosurveillance

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Amphibian populations worldwide face threats from emerging infectious diseases. We screened frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) from Central and South America for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Ranaviruses, and Trypanosoma spp. using qPCR. All three pathogens were detected, indicating that Corethrella may act as vectors and represent promising tools

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 56-77, March 2026.
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Enhancing Urban Flood Loss Mapping by Integrating ANFIS Classifier With a Two‐Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flood loss mapping is one of the essential prerequisites for urban flood assessment studies to identify areas vulnerable to floods and to make cities safe and resilient. This study develops a neuro‐fuzzy loss model to generate flood loss maps, classifying loss levels into several categories ranging from no loss to severe loss.

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Landscapes associated with Japanese encephalitis virus in Australia reflect the functional biogeography of waterbirds

Ecosphere
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a zoonotic, mosquito‐borne virus, has broad circulation across the Central Indo‐Pacific biogeographical region (CIPBR) and has recently expanded dramatically within this region across southeastern Australia over the ...
