The extinction of the Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) from Vietnam in 2010 was a conservation tragedy. Hunting has been the primary driver of the catastrophic decline of Javan rhinoceros throughout its range. The last individual from Vie[...]

The expansion of human activities is endangering megafauna in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. While large marine vertebrates are often vulnerable and emblematic species, many are considered to be declining, primarily due to fisheries act[...]

Supplemental translocations to small, isolated populations can be a valuable strategy to counteract the effects of genetic drift by increasing genetic diversity. We studied the genetic consequences of a translocation of greater prairie-chickens [...]

Accurate taxonomy is essential for conservation, but subspecies-level systematics can be hampered both by a lack of consensus on what constitutes a subspecies and by discordance among data types (e.g., genetics vs. morphology). Here we provide a[...]

While negative effects of human disturbance on animals living above the ground have been widely reported, few studies have considered effects on animals occupying cavities or burrows underground. It is generally assumed that, in the absence of d[...]

Protected areas (PM) are an important component of the global conservation strategy and understanding the past drivers of land protection can inform future conservation planning. Socioeconomic and policy drivers of protection vary through time a[...]

The last population of free-ranging Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) has been steadily increasing in response to successful conservation initiatives spanning five decades. With the increasing population size, lions have expanded their range a[...]

Understanding the evolutionary history of threatened populations can improve their conservation management. Re-establishment of past but recent gene flow could re-invigorate threatened populations and replenish genetic diversity, necessary for p[...]

Amphibians provide many ecosystem services valued by society. However, populations have declined globally with most declines linked to habitat change. Wetlands and surrounding terrestrial grasslands form habitat for amphibians in the North Ameri[...]

Indigenous custodians manage important forest areas and have vital roles in biodiversity conservation in the Pacific, but their understanding of the role of bats in rainforest function is limited, and their perception of bats often negative, pos[...]

Fewer than 40,000 lions are left in Africa, perhaps 40% of which reside in Tanzania. Lions in East Africa are commonly killed in situations where they prey on livestock, either to retaliate for loss or avert future attacks. Among the Sukuma, Tan[...]

In plants, rapid speciation attributed to pollination strategy is unlikely to lead to obvious morphological traits for identification or large genetic differences among populations. The species-rich Australian orchid genus Caladenia contains num[...]

Large hydroelectric dams are major drivers of habitat loss and degradation in lowland Amazonia. Hydroelectric reservoirs reduce the habitat available for terrestrial species, but create new open-water and shoreline lake habitat that can potentia[...]

Most modelling exercises use generic occurrence points of a species, but the distribution of habitats used for different purposes may differ. Modelling separately the availability of functionally different habitats may allow for the identificati[...]
