1. Impacts of sea level rise on the world's shorebirds.
PMID:日期:2026-08-10Sea level rise (SLR) poses a significant threat to coastal ecosystems worldwide. Migratory shorebirds rely heavily on nearshore and intertidal ecosystems throughout the annual cycle and are currently undergoing global declines due to the loss of coastal habitat, suggesting that these species may be highly susceptible to future SLR. However, the effects of SLR on shorebird habitat-and, by extension, populations-remain poorly understood. Herein, we conduct the first systematic review of SLR impacts on the world's shorebirds. The effects of SLR across all stages of the annual cycle are expected to be predominantly negative, with 78% of habitat-level studies and 89% of population- and individual-level studies documenting overall negative impacts. Declines in suitable habitat with future SLR have been projected for several sites of international and hemispheric importance to shorebirds, and impacts on shorebird populations are generally more severe than would be projected through habitat loss alone. However, maintenance or expansion of nesting and foraging habitat appears possible in certain areas where inland movement of coastal wetlands is unimpeded by anthropogenic development. Despite an increased focus on the impacts of SLR on shorebirds over the past two decades, the number of studies remains relatively small ( = 37), and considerable knowledge gaps remain during the migratory period and throughout the Global South. Our findings highlight the threat of SLR to the world's shorebirds and underscore the urgency of research on feasible adaptation and mitigation options to avoid the loss of coastal wetlands and their associated biodiversity.

2. Are we truly helping those in need: A comprehensive assessment of semen technologies in wild bird species.
PMID:日期:2026-06-29Semen technologies (STs) have been increasingly used in birds as a tool to overcome difficulties commonly faced by conservation breeding programs. Yet their application faces challenges not only related to avian physiology but also in terms of efficiency and welfare of the animals being handled. Significant advances have been made in some taxonomic groups in recent decades. Nevertheless, these approaches are not as widely disseminated as they are in mammals. Here, we compiled data from 178 scientific articles on STs to better understand the distribution of research among taxonomic groups and reproductive areas, the reasons for this arrangement, and discuss the future priorities for making these tools more effective within global bird conservation. Most available information refers exclusively to semen collection (42%, i.e., methods, parameters, etc.), while a small fraction of the literature describes the use of the complete cycle of STs (16%). These figures highlight that, despite decades of research, refinement in avian STs remains unbalanced with more emphasis on acquiring basic knowledge about semen/sperm than on integrative application of biotechnologies. We observed that STs have been applied to less than 2% of bird species, mostly targeting non-threatened species often chosen for their charisma, monetary value, or ease of maintenance in captivity. This survey provides insights for researchers, breeders, zoos, organizations and funding agencies worldwide to reflect on future paths and guidelines for the development of reproductive technologies in birds making them more useful in preserving species truly in need.

3. Between principles and practice: exploring transformative discourses in a Dutch National Park.
PMID:日期:2026-05-21Transformative change is essential to halt the worldwide decline in biodiversity. Therefore, conservation efforts must extend beyond the traditional approach of protected areas to address the complex drivers of this decline. Landscape-oriented partnerships, such as partnership-based national parks, are emerging as potential instruments for this change. To be truly transformative, we assume that such partnerships must be underpinned by a shared discourse reflecting the principles of transformative governance. Drawing on transformative change and transformative governance theory combined with Q-methodology, we have developed an approach to examining the transformative elements of partnership discourses. We applied this approach to National Park Hollandse Duinen in the Netherlands, a partnership-based national park whose vision holds transformative potential. Our study incorporated seven exploratory interviews, twenty-eight Q-methodology interviews, a workshop and participant observation in eleven meetings. Our analysis revealed four distinct partnership discourses, each of which contained transformative elements. However, none of them were fully aligned with our transformative governance framework. This finding highlights that different ideas on transformative governance do not automatically align, and that endorsing one element does not guarantee support for others. Furthermore, partners perceived tensions between transformative governance principles and the realities of partnership practice, raising questions about the potential of such partnerships to contribute to transformative change.

4. Benthic diatoms and phytoplankton diversity in urban streams and ponds: charting a course for conservation.
PMID:日期:2026-04-17Benthic diatom and phytoplankton communities are key indicators of freshwater ecosystem health and change but remain understudied. A better understanding of their distribution and abundance drivers is crucial for effective biodiversity assessment and conservation. This study adopts a novel, multi-ecosystem approach to examine the seasonal (2019-2020) diversity of benthic diatom assemblages in urban streams and phytoplankton assemblages in ponds across Bristol (UK) and the local environmental factors shaping these communities. Among ponds, winter recorded significantly fewer phytoplankton taxa than summer and autumn. Among streams, patterns of benthic diatom beta diversity indicated higher turnover in autumn than in winter, and among pond habitats, turnover dominated in the summer and autumn seasons, but nestedness explained more of the composition variation in winter. No significant differences in Local Contributions to Beta Diversity (LCBD) were recorded between seasons for either streams or ponds. However, among streams, LCBD was consistently high at sites with elevated phosphorus, indicating how nutrient enrichment can shape unique assemblages. In streams, nitrate emerged as the principal driver of diatom diversity and composition during the autumn season, whilst, pH, ammonium, zinc, and potassium distinguished diatom communities during the winter. In ponds, pH influenced phytoplankton assemblages in summer, possibly through nutrient and inorganic carbon availability changes. However, no strong environmental-species relationships were identified in autumn or winter, suggesting biotic interactions may be more influential during these seasons. We highlight the need for more comprehensive, long-term monitoring for the inclusion of diatoms and phytoplankton in urban freshwater management and conservation strategies.

5. Assessing direct effects of insect change on insectivore populations in the United Kingdom.
PMID:日期:2026-04-06Declines in insect abundance are a cause for concern, with potential downstream impacts on ecosystem function. Insects are key food resources for insectivorous vertebrates, with evidence that reductions in prey availability may influence population dynamics. Yet quantifying direct effects at large spatial scales is difficult, both due to data limitations and because correlations may reflect shared responses to environmental change rather than trophic links. We assess the role of insect abundance in the dynamics of 10 insectivores (five birds, five bats) in the United Kingdom by pairing insect and vertebrate abundance data at three spatial resolutions (100, 50, 10 km) from multiple citizen science programmes. To address the challenges of inference and combining heterogeneous data, we adopt a multiple-specification approach spanning: (1) association, (2) prediction, and (3) causal inference. We found evidence of overall declines for all bird species evaluated and for most indices of insect abundance, though none of the bat species tested showed consistent declines. Despite indices of both insect and bird abundance declining, declines did not always co-occur spatially. We also detected only moderate evidence of links between insect change and insectivore population change, notably blue tit and great tit with moth abundance, and grey partridge with Diptera abundance. Across taxa, spatial scales, and analytical approaches, we did not find consistent evidence that changes in insect abundance are a dominant driver of insectivore declines. Both insects and insectivores may instead be responding to multiple, and sometimes non-overlapping, pressures associated with environmental change. We emphasise that absence of strong evidence does not imply absence of effect, and highlight the difficulties of drawing direct conclusions from heterogeneous observational monitoring data.

6. Logging intensity alters tree species composition and wood density, but not tree diversity, in lowland forests in Vietnam.
PMID:日期:2026-03-14Tropical forests host considerable biodiversity but face degradation from timber extraction ("logging"). We examined how logging intensity affected tree diversity, species composition, community wood density and availability of timber species in a lowland forest in north-central Vietnam. We measured and identified trees in 18 quarter-hectare plots that vary in historical logging intensity. Tree diversity showed no significant relationships with logging intensity. However, species composition differed, with each logging intensity class having distinct abundant tree species. Community wood density decreased significantly with logging intensity, being 9% lower in heavily than in lightly logged forests. Timber species were scarce overall, and individuals of harvestable size were most common in lightly logged forests. These results show that while tree diversity can persist after logging, heavy logging shifts community composition towards lighter-wood species and depletes valuable timber trees, reducing both carbon storage and timber potential. Reducing logging intensities is therefore critical for maintaining and increasing community wood density, carbon stocks and sustainable timber supplies in these forests in north-central Vietnam.

7. {"_":"Mycorrhizal fungal associations of the fringed orchids () in the US, inter- and intra-species variation.","i":["Platanthera"]}
PMID:日期:2026-01-23Understanding which orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) are needed to support orchid growth is critical for their conservation. We used DNA sequencing and network analysis of OMF collections from the North American Orchid Conservation Center, along with published sequences, to compare the OMF associated with 28 species and 4 natural hybrids in the genus . We found that relatedness of orchid species was generally a poor predictor of OMF associates. However, species in sections and that co-occurred and formed natural hybrids associated with multiple fungi that were completely shared among co-occurring species. Differences in mycorrhizal associates within species mapped onto orchid genetic differences that distinguished geographic regions (mountains vs. coast vs. inland, not strictly geographic distance). Orchids that were specialized or moderately specialized in their OMF associations required relatively few samples to describe the bulk of their associated OMF, while generalized orchids required considerably more samples to describe their associated OMF. These results provide insight into species differences in mycorrhizal associations and can be used to guide management actions, as well as providing a foundation for future research.

8. How effective are ecological metrics in supporting conservation and management in degraded streams?
PMID:日期:2024-09-26Biodiversity loss is increasing worldwide, necessitating effective approaches to counteract negative trends. Here, we assessed aquatic macroinvertebrate biodiversity in two river catchments in Switzerland; one significantly degraded and associated with urbanisation and instream barriers, and one in a near-natural condition. Contrary to our expectations, environmental heterogeneity was lower in the near-natural stream, with enhanced productivity in the degraded system resulting in a greater range of environmental conditions. At face value, commonly employed alpha, beta and gamma biodiversity metrics suggested both catchments constituted healthy systems, with greater richness or comparable values recorded in the degraded system relative to the near-natural one. Further, functional metrics considered to be early indicators for anthropogenic disturbance, demonstrated no anticipated differences between degraded and near-natural catchments. However, investigating the identity of the taxa unique to each river system showed that anthropogenic degradation led to replacement of specialist, sensitive species indicative of pristine rivers, by generalist, pollution tolerant species. These replacements reflect a major alteration in community composition in the degraded system compared with the near-natural system. Total nitrogen and fine sediment were important in distinguishing the respective communities. We urge caution in biodiversity studies that employ numerical biodiversity metrics alone. Assessing just one aspect of diversity, such as richness, is not sufficient to track biodiversity changes associated with environmental stress. We advocate that biodiversity monitoring for conservation and management purposes must go beyond traditional richness biodiversity metrics, to include indices that incorporate detailed nuances of biotic communities that relates to taxon identity.

9. Prioritizing Colombian plant genetic resources for investment in research using indicators about the geographic origin, vulnerability status, economic benefits, and food security importance.
PMID:日期:2023-05-19Germplasm banks are the most significant repository for plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) worldwide. Despite their strategic importance, national germplasm banks of tropical megadiverse developing countries such as Colombia have extremely limited funds. Therefore, making strategic decisions about research investment is essential. Here, we designed a data-driven approach to build an index that sorts Colombian PGRFA into three groups: high, medium, or low priority, based on four pillars of information from open-access databases and aligned with the sustainable goals of no poverty and zero hunger: Geographic origin, vulnerability status, economic benefits, and food security importance. We analyzed 345 PGRFA using the index, separating them into two groups, 275 already conserved in the Colombian germplasm bank (BGVCOL group) and 70 not currently conserved in the BGVCOL (NCB group). We used fuzzy logic to classify each PGRFA by each pillar and integrate it to obtain a priority index. Missing data for native crops were frequent in the BGVCOL group. Therefore we adopted an imputation strategy to fill the gaps and calculated the uncertainty. After applying the index, PGRFA with higher priority were 24 (8.72%) from the BGVCOL (i.e., 15 potatoes, three tomatoes, two tree tomatoes, pineapple, cocoa, papaya, and yacon) and one from NCB (i.e., coffee). We concluded that this methodology successfully prioritized PGRFA in Colombia and shows the big holes of knowledge for future research and alternatives to improve this index. The versatility of this methodology could be helpful in other genebanks with budget limitations for research investment.

10. How might we utilise the concept of botanic gardens' in urban contexts to challenge plant blindness?
PMID:日期:2023-04-20Plant blindness remains an understudied Anthropocentric concept. There is a societal naivety to the importance of plants, and lack of awareness of the human impact of plant life, which renders many 'plant blind'. This research develops a Plant Blindness (PB) scale to address plant blindness within a botanic and urban space, pursuing an investigation into the motivations and beliefs of people in terms of plant awareness, plant fascination and conservationist efforts. Interviews with specialists within botany and horticulture suggest how we might better understand and utilise the function of botanic gardens' within an urban context, using botanic spaces to further amplify societal interest in plant life, thus challenging plant blindness. Botanic gardens' document collections of living plants, researching and setting exemplar sustainable and ethical standards for the conservation and cultivation of rare and threatened plants, educating and bringing global plant conservation to the forefront of our natural world. Botanic gardens research innovation, scientific knowledge, heritage and expertise in sustaining a globally diverse range of plant species could be advantageous in the future design of urban spaces. It is through establishing active engagement between botanic spaces and urban spaces that plant blindness can be challenged, establishing a future vision for botanic gardens and botanic spaces, exploring the role botany could adopt within society.
