Lessons learned from screening potential other effective area‐based conservation measuresNARA Subscribed
Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites that deliver effective biodiversity outcomes irrespective of their management objectives. These areas are widely expected to play an important role in efforts to protect 30% of Earth by 2030. Despite general guidance to support screening sites against the formal criteria to be OECMs, progress recognizing sites has been limited. To advance the ability to identif...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
This review analyses 73 peer‐reviewed publications using a combined qualitative and quantitative approach to examine how inequality in small‐scale fisheries is conceptualised, which drivers are most frequently identified, how they manifest, and how proposed interventions address them. The literature shows some conceptual overlap among terms such as ‘inequality’, ‘inequity’, ‘unfairness’ or ‘injustice’, which may reflect both i...
Beta-band desynchronization in the human hippocampus during movement preparation in a delayed reach taskNARA Subscribed
Though the hippocampus is known for its role in memory and navigation, growing evidence has suggested that it is involved in voluntary movement. By investigating whether the hippocampus is active during movement preparation, we can understand its role in motor control. In this study, we utilized a Delayed Reach task to measure beta-band (13–30 Hz) amplitude changes in the human hippocampus during movement preparation. We hypot...
Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...
DNA-based studies and genetic diversity indicator assessments are complementary approaches to conserving evolutionary potentialNARA Subscribed
Genetic diversity is essential for maintaining healthy populations and ecosystems. Several approaches have recently been developed to evaluate population genetic trends without necessarily collecting new genetic data. Such “genetic diversity indicators” enable rapid, large-scale evaluation across dozens to thousands of species. Empirical genetic studies, when available, provide detailed information that is important for manage...
Prioritization of important plant areas for conservation of frailejones (Espeletiinae, Asteraceae) in the Northern AndesNARA Subscribed
The tropical Andes region harbors areas that are highly significant for biodiversity at both global and local scales. However, despite the severe conservation threats that this region has to confront, conservation initiatives are limited, by funding and because of the need for more information to decide which areas are priorities for conservation. Identifying Important Plant Areas (IPAs) offers a valuable methodology for estab...
Calibration areas in ecological niche and species distribution modelling: Unravelling approaches and conceptsNARA Subscribed
Aim The calibration area (CA) corresponds to the geographic region used by different algorithms that estimate the species' environmental preferences and delimit its geographic distribution. This study intended to identify, test and compare current literature's most commonly employed approaches and methods for CA creation, highlighting the differences with the accessible area (M), a frequently misapplied concept. Location Globa...
