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...
Arid Soil Bacterial Legacies Improve Drought Resilience of the Keystone Grass, Themeda triandraNARA Subscribed
Plant–microbe interactions are critical to ecosystem functioning and impact soil legacies, where plants exert a lasting influence on the microbial and physicochemical conditions of the soils in which they grow. These soil legacies can affect subsequent plant growth and fitness. Specifically, biotic soil legacies can influence microbially associated plant fitness through the movement of soil microbiota in a two‐step selection p...
Expert range maps of global mammal distributions harmonised to three taxonomic authoritiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography and conservation. Expert range maps often represent a species' only available distributional information and play an increasing role in conservation assessments and macroecology. We provide global range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal spec...
An introduction to decision science for conservationNARA Subscribed
Biodiversity conservation decisions are difficult, especially when they involve differing values, complex multidimensional objectives, scarce resources, urgency, and considerable uncertainty. Decision science embodies a theory about how to make difficult decisions and an extensive array of frameworks and tools that make that theory practical. We sought to improve conceptual clarity and practical application of decision science...
There is growing evidence for the influence of plant intraspecific variation on associated multi‐trophic communities, but the traits driving such effects are largely unknown. We conducted a field experiment with selected genetic lines of the dioecious shrub Baccharis salicifolia to investigate the effects of plant growth rate (two‐fold variation) and gender (males vs. females of the same growth rate) on above‐ and belowground...
