Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy developmentNARA Subscribed
Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making strategic planning essential. We used steppe birds, a highly threatened group occurring...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
A spatial planning approach for the identification of critical habitat for threatened speciesNARA Subscribed
The designation of critical habitat for the conservation of threatened species has long been recognized in the environmental legislation of different countries. However, translating vague legislation about critical habitat into practical real‐world designation remains challenging because of its sensitivity to many context‐ and species‐specific criteria and assumptions. We explored how spatial prioritization tools can help navi...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Key conservation actions for European steppes in the context of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity FrameworkNARA Subscribed
The Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM–GBF) envisions a world living in harmony with nature by 2050, with 23 intermediate targets to be achieved by 2030. However, aligning international policy and national and local implementation of effective actions can be challenging. Using steppe birds, one of the most threatened vertebrate groups in Europe, as a model system, we identified 36 conservation actions for the a...
